Pros

Diversity, IBM is a very inclusive place - Work/Life Balance is great with lots of options for mobile working

Cons

Slow career advancement - As all big companies the bureaucracy could be optimized, process overkill -You pretty much make your own career, there are a lot of possibilities but you need to make it yourself.

Pros

Very flexible in terms of work time, home office and so on. Its quite easy to maintain work life balance and be with your family at IBM. You even get pushed by the company to do so. Teamwork is great and everyone is very professional to get the job done.

Cons

Extremely process driven and some of the implemented processes really dont make any sense. Most of the time the processes are necessary and even a very good thing, but some of them are just not usable in the real world out there. Focusing the business on shareholder value as main issue is not very aplicable either.
