Pros

Experience working with a global company is invaluable. Many opportunities on the consulting side to work just about anywhere in the world there are IT needs. Boasting wise - it is a world renown company which looks good in your portfolio. If you take advantage of networking opportunities you can meet some really sharp individuals who can aid you in your career growth.

Cons

The amount of time required to complete work often requires late nights, early mornings, weekends. In other words, expect to work 50+ hours on a regular basis to complete just the bare necessities of your workload. Also, formal training in a classroom environment is rarely permitted. Salary increases is quite the exception for 'good', 'reliable' workers in or out of a recession. Exceptional performers who produce intellectual capital and certify in various disciplines see an increase in their salary.

Pros

There are lots of opportunities for advacement and to do different and challenging things. The benefits package is pretty good. The vacation package is reasonable and IBM is very good about extra time off for getting married and having children. There is also a lot of opportunity to work from home.

Cons

IBM is very beauruacratic,, and it is getting worse. It becomes more difficult every day to get things done. The education opportunities used to be much better. They are very restrictive now about the cost of attending classes. When I began 8 years ago there was much focus on promoting educaction and having people develop new skills.
