Pros

Very interesting work, particularly in the more technical areas. Lots of smart people to work with. Lots of opportunity to move, and if you are lucky you can gradually move into a job that is a good fit for you. This might be harder is a smaller company.

Cons

Very big company - not all parts of the company are equally well run. Some parts don't seem to be as good as others (in terms of being a good place to work).

Pros

It's a large company with lots of talented people - a great place to learn in almost any field in the industry.

Cons

The company is too bureocratic. I always had the feeling the IBM is just too large, and the management tries to play always on the safe side, never getting into risky investments, which sometimes means bleeding edge projects and great ideas getting cancelled.
