Great company for starting!
Pros: I worked 6 years for IBM. There's some really great people working there, and the work environment is nice. Lots of innovation going on, the IBM brand name still gives you some visibility, you work in a global environment, and there are lots of tech job options.
Cons: Again, this is a ideally a company for someone just starting in the job market, so this is not the place to go if you want a fat paycheck or even decent benefits. Career opportunities do exist, but if you're a top performer or if you have marketable skills, in time you'll want to look elsewhere for real career advancement.
