Pros

Provides way to interact with best minds. Career development mentors help you a lot specially when your a fresher. women employees enjoy extra benefits.

Cons

Working in a big company made me feel lost in the pool after few months. Sometimes work from home option is taken too lightly by employees.

Pros

There are lots of very smart people. They pay me money and lots of it. There are lots of good toys to get your hands on. Their stock has retained valuation despite the current economic collapse. They make some really great ads and post them on TV. People think you're important when you work for IBM.

Cons

There is too much structure. They don't let you run off and create something merely for your amusement. Lots of time is spent on the phone dealing with trivia. There is a stupid office culture were you have to work in open offices.
