Pros

Excellent opportunities to work with highly skilled proffesionals.

Cons

Bureaucracy of moving up the ladder is very challenging unless you have the right contacts or you devote many extra hours of your already expected overtime hours on an engagement. Too many hours have to be put into the company to make yearly goals and this does not equate to work life balance.

At IBM you are provided the tools to make your career your own.

Cons

As a member of a extremely large company it is easy to feel as only a number. While there are ample career paths, it can be challenging to navigate to a significantly different career path. The salary compensation appears to be average.
