      IBM offers name-brand reputation and stability, but is being outshined by younger, nimbler firms.

      Pros

      It's one of the biggest companies in the world, so you can try out a lot of different career paths without having to start over. IBM develops many cutting edge technologies, and has high name-brand value around the world as a reliable, powerful company. Stability. Almost nobody can really offer a secure career for life anymore, but IBM comes pretty close, mainly due to its size.

      Cons

      It's one of the biggest companies in the world, so it can move slow at times. Even though they make some of the most dynamic, cutting-edge technologies in the world, the senior management is trying to do it as cheaply as possible. This means that bonuses, raises, and hiring are low, and outsourcing to labs outside the US is on the rise. The name brand has a good reputation, but certainly isn't as sexy as younger, smaller, more nimble firms, such as Microsoft and Google.

      Pros

      If someone wants to have work-life balance this is your place. Work culture is very flexible. Co-workers are very nice and managers treat you well if you meet your deadlines. Deadlines are very reasonable. Culture is very open, you can walk in anytime in your managers room and give any new idea or improvement in any areas.

      Cons

      Its too huge and moving from one department to other is really tough. Lot of bureaucracy.
