Working at IBM
Pros: It is a great company for newcomers, where you will learn the practices and methods used nowadays in the IT business as well as how you should handle yourself in a large company with their own methods and customs. You will learn to use a lot of tools to implement such practices which at first can be a handful but over time you get use to it and start doing on your own. It is a good place to start and learn to know later what direction you want to take in the future
Cons: Unfortunately sometimes their policies and bureaucracy get on their way and tends to slow down certain things that you could do faster in the same or more efficient way. They are too closed to learn new and better ways and always encourage and remind you that things has to be done their way (which translate of course in not always the best way) And also tend to be too much on top of your work what makes you think twice before doing something. And as I have learned over the years there is a fine line on what is compliant or not, and be always asking what is inside the boundaries and what not slows things down terribly
