Pros

For a motivated employee, the sky is the limit and the opportunities are endless at IBM. You can work from anywhere in the world and IBM provides excellent work from home opportunities.

Cons

The only downside is the size of the organization. In other words, you'll be a small fish in an ocean! However, there are plenty of opportunities to make your way up the corporate ladder.

Pros

The company has a huge number of fingers in lots and lots of different pies and there is the potential to move around within the company to avoid stagnation.

Cons

Reality never lives up to promises. Continual trimming of resource to make projects more efficient means frequent unpaid overtime required and eliminates the possibility of doing more interesting work in favour of maintainance cycles and at best, minor incremental improvements. Worst of all, even where there is scope for improving efficiency to help mitigate these problems in later cycles there's no time available to implement it.
