Pros

IBM is somewhat flexable with work and life balancing. IBM does allow some people to work from home. If you have a good manager, they can allow more flexability.

Cons

The lack of pay increases, promotions, or any positive recognition. Communication from upper management is usually after you hear about it on the news. Employee Morale is at a all time low in my area, and I have worked in the field for 19 years. There are many job ads posted in the internal database, but very few people actually are able to move around in the company. Usually the only time you move, is when it is time to go to the un-employment line.

Pros

Having experience at a big name company such as IBM, is a great resume builder. For college hires, it is a fantastic place to "learn the ropes" within the consulting world.

Cons

The company is so enormous that getting noticed is extremely difficult. Furthermore, even if you are a top performer, you are overlooked, underpaid, and underutilized.
