IBM: a fair shake in corporate America.
Pros: For a megacorporation, IBM is rather humane. There's a strong sense of tradition here and respect for people who have grown up in this company. That said, it's also a place that embraces change and behaves less paternally than it used to.  The best reason to work here: fairness.  Do your job, do it well, you will be rewarded.
Cons: Due to its enormous size, changes and decisions take an enormously long time.  Internal politics are also deeply entrenched here.
