      Opportunities abound at start, but soon narrow.

      Pros

      Great for software engineers and those with technical expertise. IBM offer a wide variety of platforms on which to work. Might be a great start for those looking to move on to other software companies.

      Cons

      You always here about some great new technology IBM is working on in the mainstream media. However, the chance to get involved in such technologies is very difficult. The organisation is overly bureaucratic with obvious conflict between different parts of the business, stifling the ability to produce some great work. Externally, IBM appear a very modern organisation in which to work. However, once inside, it's clear that IBM is very outdated in it's processes and over-zealous bureaucracy.

      Elephants may dance, but not very well.

      Pros

      Obviously IBM provides the stability that comes with such a large organization, but also the subtleties such as working with cutting edge research and development. Also, IBM strives to improve work/life balance, but it can often depend on the individual or management situation.

      Cons

      Like any behemoth, IBM has its bureaucracy. It does seem to be a cesspool like breeding ground for middle management. There are times where you are treated like a child and not the highly educated professional that you are.
