Pros

An extremely friendly environment. Everyone in my department took the time to genuinely welcome me either in person or via e-mail within my first few days of employment. They were also very inclusive in all their personal social activities.

Cons

In terms of advancement to higher, more responsible and higher paid positions, it's severely competitive. In this current economic market, it's understandable that access to these positions goes to the more senior, long-term employees... nevertheless... it would be a plus to be equally considered by management, whether you're new or old, as long as you're skilled and qualified.

Pros

Great brand, great software products. You get to work with some of the smartest people in the world and gain insight into the issues and challenges that the largest customer organizations in the world are facing. IBM is an incredible learning environment.

Cons

Salary increases are notoriously difficult to get, lots of process to deal with in general and management is chipping away at every benefit and perk that employees have.
