Pros

Course offerings for any type of technology you may be interested in. The management hierarchy is not just vertical but horizontal. Meaning, your growth is blocked by your managers above you. Its one of the best places to start-off your career. IBM training is highly respected in the industry and for the right reasons I would say. I learned a lot of technologies there.

Cons

I would like to have a strong impact on the growth of the company. But, it is hard to do so in a huge organization like IBM. I found it hard to stick with it for a long time. But, it is definitely one of the best paces to start your career.

Cons

1.Rude Managers , show total disrespect for employees. 2.Managers promise a lot of stuff but dont do what they say. 3.Lot of work and lot of work pressure. 4.Very bad compensation to people who join as ELTP's with very less growth Chances. 5.Loyalty to your manager would get you a good rating and not the quality of your work.. 6.Make you do more documentation(clerical work) rather than software engineering work. 7.They make you pay for the team outings ( thats cheap !) 8.Treat freshers as school kids , give you assignments and you have written tests(Even after 3 years into the job !!) 9.Absolutely no work life balance. 10.They make you stay late and dont pay for that.Only few of the shifts are approved and the rest are rejected.You manager will show you his teeth and say budget constraint..And if you dont want to work late .. they say you are not cooperative and screw your ratings 11.Flexible working hours means --- you can be called for work any time any where --- as per their convienence. 12.They give more importance to their business than your aspirations. 13.Zero benifits. 14.Managers come up with twisted policies like you cant order food if you stay late and take cab.
