Pros

By far, the best part of working at IBM is the opportunity to work with some of the best and brightest professionals I have met.

Cons

The "treadmill" approach to promotions. For most people, the length of time you spend in a position determines when you'll get your next promotion - NOT performance.

Business Outlook

Pros

Stable position once you are inside. The networking can be very useful. There is a culture of mentoring and networking that takes a certain amount of effort to get into, but does yield decent information.

Cons

Bureacratic. Poor attention to quality. Overall software product strategy is lacking. Lots of vague, insincere, old-style rah-rah. Management tends to bring in their friends rather than hire for competency. Project schedules are set without understanding the details of what the commitments entail. The product designs tend to be overelaborated and inelegant and user-hostile. They have a rigid, waterfall product management template AND they are attempting to ram agile development into it.
