Pros

Obviously IBM provides the stability that comes with such a large organization, but also the subtleties such as working with cutting edge research and development. Also, IBM strives to improve work/life balance, but it can often depend on the individual or management situation.

Cons

Like any behemoth, IBM has its bureaucracy. It does seem to be a cesspool like breeding ground for middle management. There are times where you are treated like a child and not the highly educated professional that you are.
