Pros

The company develops some of the most advanced technologies. As an engineer at IBM, you get to work with a great deal of experts in their fields. Technical vitality is cultivated and encouraged.

Cons

The working environment tends to be political. Many people tend to rely too much on their "mentors". A hard working engineer who does not have a mentor has a good chance of being passed over for career advancement.
