Pros

Lots to offer if you produce and know how to work the machine, good experience to see how a company this large manages to move with the market.

Cons

Internal processes can be brutal. offshoring internal processes to "centers of excellence" can be brutal. how do you like 60-hour work weeks, phone calls around the clock.

Pros

-awesome benefits and retirement package -locations are great, especially for young people -Good name to have on your resume, but that's not important cause who would want to leave IBM to look for another job?

Cons

- Business can go thru downturns if economy is not good - but thats true for any job unless your a nurse -Sometimes management can be political
