Pros

Diversity, IBM is a very inclusive place - Work/Life Balance is great with lots of options for mobile working

Cons

Slow career advancement - As all big companies the bureaucracy could be optimized, process overkill -You pretty much make your own career, there are a lot of possibilities but you need to make it yourself.

Pros

Industry-leading technology. Good benefits and stable work environment (mainly because it's a large company). Very flexible about work schedules as long as work is completed. Good balance of work and personal life. Solid multi-site communication.

Cons

Senior management is detached from employee feedback. Job satisfaction largely depends on the quality of your first-line manager. My direct manager is particularly good at recognizing employee contributions, but I rarely see that extend beyond his level.
