Pros

You can change jobs many times. This is actively encouraged. You don't get bored doing the same job for years and years.

Cons

Until you are a director there is little incentive to stay, but a lot of people do stay, hoping ot hit the big money. Once you hit director level the stock options kick in and you become a impossible to dislodge. You will eventually retire but you would never leave of your own accord. Cover your ass, you will not get sacked.

Pros

Many options to advance or change careers. It is great to work for a company that is well recognized in the marketplace. I enjoy working at IBM because we are the benchmark by which many companies are measured. It feels good to be working for one of the top companies in the world.

Cons

Very large company. Sometimes you feel like just a number. Although the size of IBM brings stability and job security, the size can also make you feel lost. IBM has focused more on Wall Street expectations and less on employee moral in the past few years.
