Pros

I only worked at IBM as a student on my breaks, but my manager was always very flexible with letting me and my coworkers come and go for school when we needed to and we could take days off whenever. I made 11.18/hour, which is better than I could have done anywhere else with the amount of flexibility the job provided. Also, near the end of the quarter, I was able to get a ton of overtime, sometimes working 70 hours per week, but since overtime is time and a half, it was awesome as a student trying to make enough money in 3 months to last a whole year.

Cons

I started work at 6 in the morning every day and at 4 in the morning near the end of the quarter when we were working overtime.

Pros

Plenty of opportunities to build expertise in the areas you want to explore given the wide variety of spaces IBM is involved in.

Cons

Big company - lots of competing agendas. Every one seems to be managing upwards rather than trying to do the best that they can.
