Pros: Large organization that provide opportunities to switch jobs and locations.  Many "virtual" jobs (e.g., work at home).  A matrix style of organization (i.e., work with others even though not "related" in the hierarchy.  Hierarchy jobs (e.g., Military) is not IBM's style.
Cons: Be prepared to be fired or permanently laid off.  In 2016, 23,000 employees got one month's service and a "boot" out the door.  This represented 1/3 of the employees in the United States.
