Pros

Some of the reasons to work at IBM: very friendly people, lots of work to do, you get to use some of the latest technologies (IBM routinely acquires small companies and phases them in), there are usually corporate events scheduled.

Cons

THE problem with IBM right now is that this recession has frozen all the jobs, and they are even laying people off.

Pros

- Great technical minds and information sources around. Great place to pick up plenty of tech skills - Great work-life balance possible - Great projects (unless you fall into one of the few 'dead' accounts

Cons

- Can be a complex place w.r.t processes (at least initially) - Career progression is mostly your own baby. Do no expect much support from managers - Pay..hmmm well what can we say..
