Do not expect loyalty from IBM unless you are a consultant.

Business Outlook
Pros
It will look good on your CV. You will hopefully meet some of the many excellent people that work there as technical consultants. When IBM gets it right, and the huge teams that they put in front of customers start working together, then the results can be awesome.
Cons
Not all people are treated equally - for example, sales people are generally treated with total disrespect, whereas consultants and holders of domain expertise are treated properly. When the client teams don't work together (more often than not) then you had better be in the stronger camp or you are toast. Expect to spend the best part of 30% of your time fighting your own organisation.
