      Pros

      IBM is operating oin the leading edge of business and technology. I can hardly imagine any other company that can provide the level of opportunity that IBM does. The development/educational opportunities are immense. Moreover, as a company, IBM takes diversity very seriously. Furthermore, there are plenty of opportunities to get involved in international projects.

      Cons

      Due to its size, it can be a quite bureaucratic place. Moreover, because of the great "brand" and established process driven methodologies sometimes I feel the human factor is not appreciated as much as it should be. This is also reflected in the compensation7benefits package which is usually below market rate.

      Pros

      There are still a large number of very talented people working at IBM... the sheer breadth of knowledge, experience and talent is a very strong positive.

      Cons

      Compensation is very poor, especially if you have worked there for a long time. The sales plan is changed frequently, usually having the effect of lowering pay for any level of achievement. There are large numbers of people who add no value. The travel and expense policies (economy flights, tiny per-diems) mean I am frequently embarrassed in conversation with peers elsewhere who cannot believe that IBMers are willing to put up with such poor conditions.
