Pros

IBM is always on the forefront of IT technology and services such as Cloud Computing and High Performance Computing. It allows individuals to have a challenging IT career involved in many different, diverse roles. They have a good formal and informal mentoring program as well. IBM's values and promotes it's innovative employees.

Cons

Being a large company, an employee can get lost in the masses. Becoming an expert in your assigned area is the best way to benefit yourself and your current organization. This allows you to also be considered for the next great opportunity to move into when a career change is so desired.

Pros

The work life balance is amazing. The compensation is great. You do however, have to work hard. Long hours and log days are a must but, you are compensated for it.

Cons

Long days, management also tends to be very busy at times. The laptops you are given may be underspeced but, its all luck of the draw

Pros

All of this is contingent on which grp / team, etc one gets into, however great technology, flexible hours, innovation prospects (patents, publications), friendly management (depends again), etc.

Cons

Not the best salary out there, however it depends on what kind of person one is. I would derive much more satisfaction with innovation and the realization that my work is getting acknowledged beyond just the company (patents etc).
