Pros

Intelligence is everywhere at IBM. Work force is diversified and there is a pride with still being an IBM'er. Benefits are great, investments in employee training is top notch, managers are very good.

Cons

Comp is ok, bonuses are small, no club for incenting sales team. Company is really divided with competiting business units that work better against each other rather than with one another. Difficult to internally navigate

Pros

Working with IBM is like a dream come true for a person who likes to learn. I have never been refused an opportunity to learn. As long as it does not affect my current work responsibilities I can always learn and increase my knowledge and circle of influence as much as I want. You have to be like a sponge to absorb as much as you want. It is always a pleasure to work in IBM specially with the flexibility options and the areas that you can work and contribute across in a 100 year old company like IBM The older the wine the rare it gets and better it tastes.

Cons

You may sometimes feel lost in a huge company like IBM. It needs a good mentor and manager to guide you.
