      Pros

      It still looks good on your resume. Its a good short term starting place, but opportunities for AREAL world experience are lacking. Management is forcing older workers out the door. Quality team mmebers are fleeing the company due to lack of respect and wage issues. You are no longer valued as a contributor, you are a deficit to the company. Contracts are NOT based on customer sat.. they are judged by who gets sued for breech of sla's. If you have a good customer sat, you are way over staffed. Use the time at ibm to gain resume experience. Do not plan on a lifetime career.. they dont exist anymore

      Cons

      Where to start... pay, stress, quality of management

      Big, slow and complex. A place to hide or a place to gain experience for your resume

      Pros

      A recognizable name and fair to decent benefits are a plus for IBM. There are good, intelligent people to find as mentors at a company of this size. Nevetheless, It's very easy to fall through the cracks here and coast along with little notice from management. A good first job for those fresh out of school looking for a big name to boost their resume.

      Cons

      Constant threat of layoffs. IBM is moving many of their jobs offshore with little regard to their US based workforce. Red tape, complicated internal processes and little focus on the welfare of the employee make IBM a living example of a Dilbert cartoon. Often times, the left hand does not know what the right hand is doing.
