Software Client Leader
Pros: IBM (if in the right role) still is one of the most innovative technology companies.  IBM Research, Software Group, Watson, etc. have a lot of value to offer enterprise clients and the world.  If you are smart, have very good interpersonal skills and you are ambitious, IBM can offer you a very good career path.  The cumulative IQ and ethical culture are very high.
Cons: Some parts of the company have become dinosaurs (hardware and Global Services) and it shows in their management style, workforce, perception with clients and focus (lack) within IBM's portfolio of priorities.  It is a big company....you have to trudge through a large number of unmotivated co-workers to find the good ones and the company is often mired in process.
