I've gone from knowing nothing about the I/T Industry to knowing almost everything there is.
Pros: Excellent Brand. 
IBM is the industry leader in technology, business, and strategic management.
IBM is smart, they consistently evaluate the market 5 years in advance to be prepared to react to changes and thus to do and therefore, they are more prepared than their competitors.
Cons: There is no longer any job security working in the U.S. offices.
IBM strategically uses globalization to transfer technical positions to low labor cost countries.  Although this is strategically and financially beneficial to IBM, it hurts U.S. employees in two ways: 1) More and more US employees get laid off ever year.  2) Growth opportunities and opportunites to move around in the company are drastically shrinking year after year.
