Experience level: Junior

Underwhelming.
Pros: IBM is a good place to pick up general experience, especially if you're a graduate. The company name is recognizable and great asset to have on your CV. Employees are very down-to-earth and are generally not arrogant or snobby, as you may find in other large technical organizations.
Cons: I have not met an employee that is openly proud about working at IBM. I don't feel proud to work here, there aren't any IBM products I can talk about and say "My company did that, isn't it just the best?" The beaurocracy is ridiculous. There are no employee perks like free gadgets or free food. Having to use Lotus Notes is terrible.
