Lots of good things, but some areas of concern
Pros: >There are a lot of people you work with who are very good at what they do.
>Because of its size and reputation,  there's not many opportunities that are out of reach  because they're too big or complex
>Rightly or wrongly, IBM brings you - as an employee - credibility
>You usually will get the resources you need to meet an objective
>Remote working is very much the norm, though I think that's changed recently
Cons: >IBM is BIG, really BIG.  Which means that it can be like turning an ocean liner to get things done when what you need is nimble
>The mainline IBM management structure is not well suited to business units (and/or acquired companies) that do not "fit" with their expected sales cycles or processes
>They often over-complicate and, thus, over price some things
>IBM tends to reorganize essentially as a sport; it seems to get done at times for no coherent reason
>Tends to be very top-heavy
