Pros

Great opportunity to learn and pursue skill development(incl. well established educational and e-learning oportunities); Global company(with many locations all over); Good awareness of virtual teams, cross-division and cross-culture collaboration. As a global company that sells all over and is not only focuses on a single market/region, great potential to do fine over time and not be dependent on the economy ups and downs in a single region. There are various innovative venues for employees to show their ideas and collaborate with others- incl. Blue Opportunity and BizTeck projects which enable you to take some of your weekly time and work on a cool project with a team other than your regular job' team.

Cons

Too big of a company to get noticed or to find who works on what and who to talk to.

Pros

It is a very stable environment to work, and if you don't like doing what you like odds are pretty good that you can switch to another division in IBM fairly easily. There are a large number of interesting projects going on at any given time, and it's nice to be able to say you work at IBM.

Cons

Management is completely unaware of what is required to produce quality products, at least in my division of IBM. There is a general lack of respect and concern for the products, and it is obvious that many of the managers are only concerned with their careers without any regard to anything or anyone else.
