Pros

IBM is a good place to work. There is good deal of respect for employees except when it comes to the resource actions. In many parts of the company you get the opportunity to change jobs every 2-3 years and that helped maintain my interest and keep me challenged. Also, if you get a manager that you don't like very well you can be pretty sure that you or they will move before too long.

Cons

The lack of promotions. You need to want to work a lot of hours - this isn't a 9-5 place.

Pros

lots oof job opportunties and chanes to move around the company, strong market leadership, and respect, access to all CIOs and most CEOs, very collaborative environment. tremendous company ethics, highest values and strong expectations for performance and leadership. great benefits, strong 401K , stock option program, employee stock program, educational assistance for advanced degrees.most sales and consulting employees work from home

Cons

big, vast resources - takes time to network but collaborative tools and on line communities make it much easier. expense controls are very tight and automated systems monitor all spending and budgets. due to matrix environment, and spread out resources, employees spend a tremdouns amount of time on conference calls
