A great brand name is not all
Pros: IBM offers a wide variety of job roles national and international. If you are a technical focused person IBM can provide you a long term career. However, the technical area is maybe not the most fancy one but most likely very relevant in business matters.
Cons: The opportunity to move into or to work within international roles at IBM has become very limited. The offer to take a leave of absence and work in emerging markets for local salaries is not very compelling as long as you have obligations to fulfill in mature markets.
IBM Germany in particular has become a very uncomfortable and unattractive place to work.
