Pros

Excellent place to start your career and understand how to work in a large organization. Alot of opportunity to try different areas on the business

Cons

It's a very political organization, every year it seems the company takes a little bit away from employees. The compensation is below the industry average. IBM has a way of institutionalizing you to the IBM way, this can be dishearting for those the question the norm, eventually you have to make a decision on whether you can live without anything changing and becoming an IBMer or quit drinking the koolaid and find a new opportunity outside the company.

Pros

Big company - so you have lots of colleagues. A good part of them is very motivated.

Cons

Very strict management, sometimes you have no chance to develop a project because it does not fit someones senior managements vision. Though several mergers there are employee-blocks/LOBs/internal comanies working against each other which is disgusting.
