Pros

Large company: you learn to work as a cog in a giant wheel. Get to see lot of different people. The breath and scope of work is huge.

Cons

Not much responsibility. Weak management. Weak communication from management. Incompetency at senior management mainly those who treat this job same as retiring.

Pros

Big Brand Flexible timing Great work enviornment You can make your profesional profile valuable for other employer, they will respect you and you may get good chance to work with some other big brands. you can enhance your technical skill beacuse IBM conduct training session time to time for their employees.

Cons

No increment in IBM, better to negotiate at the time to join. No facility for employee refreshment like tea, cofee. Managment is very process oriented... eg to change mouse of your computer you have to write 5-6 mails and you may have to wait 3-4 days

Pros

Incredible opportunity to work in various locations or remote. Management supports your career development. Most comprehensive set of products and solutions.

Cons

Salaries and raises have been dismal for years. Difficult to retain top talent. Even promotions are pathetic. With the market recovering, expect many to retire and leave. Perhaps that will allow for growth opportunities again.
