IBM is ok... as a start point.
Pros: IBM at Guadalajara has several areas. It depends with wich area you are  working. The good thing is that you have a secure work: It's really really hard to get fired. We have 12 free days/year, medical and dental insurance, food vauchers/month, paid vacations. It depends, but it's possible to travel abroad for trainning.  It's easy to get hired if you're a new grad (as a contractor).
Cons: IBM takes your life. Several of my friends and me, work more than 8hrs/day, as average10 to 12 hours per day. IBM does not pay you that time. Also, IBM it's pretty demanding and your money compensation is not as good as other companies in the area. It's incredible the high elitism and sometimes it's difficult to get the information yo need. Also, there is some people who doesn't like to share their knowledge. Too  much burocracy.
If you're a new grad you will start as a contractor. You will need about 2 years to get hired as a "regular" employee (my case).
