Pros

IBM is operating oin the leading edge of business and technology. I can hardly imagine any other company that can provide the level of opportunity that IBM does. The development/educational opportunities are immense. Moreover, as a company, IBM takes diversity very seriously. Furthermore, there are plenty of opportunities to get involved in international projects.

Cons

Due to its size, it can be a quite bureaucratic place. Moreover, because of the great "brand" and established process driven methodologies sometimes I feel the human factor is not appreciated as much as it should be. This is also reflected in the compensation7benefits package which is usually below market rate.
