Life is what you make of it.
Pros: Education oportunities, though not at every corner, are there - you just need to be willing to learn the skills that are "hot." Also, your career at IBM is in your hands; it's what you make of it. If you want to be mediocre, that's your choice, but you don't have to be. It's all about what you put into it. Pay varies - it is all about what you make of yourself.
Cons: Travel, but that's consulting, not IBM. The way in which promotions, etc. are handled is unusual - but it keeps it as consistent as possible across a company of nearly 400k people.
