Pros

Many options to advance or change careers. It is great to work for a company that is well recognized in the marketplace. I enjoy working at IBM because we are the benchmark by which many companies are measured. It feels good to be working for one of the top companies in the world.

Cons

Very large company. Sometimes you feel like just a number. Although the size of IBM brings stability and job security, the size can also make you feel lost. IBM has focused more on Wall Street expectations and less on employee moral in the past few years.

Pros

It offers all the freedom you could ask for with regard to your career planning. IBM doesn't tell you what to do- you tell IBM what you want.

Cons

Career planning is up to you. You have to fight for what you want. The continuous emphasis on cost-cutting is really driving morale downwards. If you are not affected, you are lucky.
