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.

Pros

Tremendous opportunities if you have enough flexibility in your personal life to take them e.g. great roles pop up in different countries / locations within a country.

Cons

They are really squeezing us on how much time we are "utilised" on client-billable work. Very little time in the services business for anything else.

Pros

Fantastic breadth of opportunity to either expand depth of knowledge through research or scope of experience by working on a variety of projects.

Cons

Understanding that things take longer in a large organization and there are lots of processes that need to evolve quickly becomes a challenge/requires patience and urgency in large quantity and at the same time.
