Pros

The work environment is surprisingly flexible, which makes IBM an ideal employer for people with families. Ample time off, a sincere effort to promote work/life balance stems from the top down (many people work from home), and supportive staff. Bureaucratic systems, although a pain to deal with, support the effective and relatively smooth running of the organization. Many training opportunities.

Cons

Your experience is wholly dependent upon which group you are in. It can be difficult to change groups and movement within the organization is often based on who you know.

Pros

IBM is a company with a strong focus on employee knowledge-building and -sharing. Also the individual's right to be 'different' is relentlessly upheld by the company.

Cons

Being a large company the road from 'me' to Mr Palmisano can seem very long. It is a focus area though.
