Pros

Exposure to different technologies ; flexibility in being able to work from home when needed; ability to work with people across worldwide geographies; first line management has very hands off management style - allows employees to manage themselves

Cons

U.S. based jobs are being offshored to China, India and Brazil; Applications get rushed into production to meet deadlines but then don't work as advertised which forces the support teams to work long hours in fixing the applications

Pros

It's so large there are many areas to move into if you want to grow your career. I'm working at another company now due to being a small layoff last year and I personally miss the structure. IBM had many of the processes down on how to work that many companies could learn from.

Cons

Can get lost within the corporate structure. Sometime very hard to get change through without red tape.
