Incredible company but not for everyone
Pros: Few companies in the world have the depth of intellectual property and brand value as IBM.  Many great products and services.  Committed to maintain a research focus to ensure long-term success.  This is a great institution and one that will survive the transformation taking place in enterprise IT.  There are many good jobs to be had in IBM.
Cons: However, it is not always a great place to work.  Unrealistically high quotas for most sales staff means year over year pay cuts.  An HR organization that is more committed to protecting the institution than seeing to the development and training of staff.  An unrelenting cost reduction focus that stifles innovation around new service offering.
