Good company if you are not an American
Pros: big company, diversified, generally decent benefits and hr policies.
Cons: if you are a US citizen, it's unlikely you will have your job for long.  IBM is seemingly on the warpath to get rid of all American employees.  In some divisions, at least 65% of the employees are "global resource" .. apparently americans are not part of the 'global' community .. and that is only expected to go up.    Depending on your division, can be surprisingly cheap ... no money for education, travel etc., but other divisions can be quite generous, just luck of the draw where you end up.
