Pros

A very supportive organization that struggles with the challenges of being at the leading-edge of a still 'immature' industry (i.e. outsourcing). IBM works hard to keep up with both the constant change of technology that its clients are using and the technology needed to provide 'superior' outsourcing services. Management works hard to stay ahead of both its customers and its customers. Great opportunities are available for those working to be flexible and ready to turn their hand to anything. Those who don't are left behind and soon become 'dead-weight' in the organization structure.

Cons

Some dead weight in middle-management and the constant challenge of integrating the operations of new clients into the IBM Delivery Model.

Pros

For a motivated employee, the sky is the limit and the opportunities are endless at IBM. You can work from anywhere in the world and IBM provides excellent work from home opportunities.

Cons

The only downside is the size of the organization. In other words, you'll be a small fish in an ocean! However, there are plenty of opportunities to make your way up the corporate ladder.

Pros

A great commitment to honesty, innovation, and customer success. The culture really is focused on doing what's best for IBM's customers. There are also a wide range of careers and development help withing the company, plus programs to get paid while doing some good in the world (projects in the developing world or local charities).

Cons

It's a big, complex company. Sometimes it is frustrating to coordinate with the many layers of people who get involved in anything significant.
