Pros

Work life balance is amazing. One cannot ask for more. Career development opportunities are galore but one needs to be patient.

Cons

Indian management can get too messy at times. Salary will be a concern but that comes at the cost of the brand you get.

Pros

Really smart folks to work with Focused on technology for customers Work life balance - many people start and end their career in IBM Well defined career paths

Cons

Really large company, so if your management chain is not good - you may not do well have to be self motivated and proactively manage career else there is a lot of scope for getting lost growing a lot by aquisition - not productizing its invention/loosing the innovation inside

Uses lots of outsourced talent; sometimes the hype generated by IBM PR dept outshines the realities of working for a very large and diverse corporation
