Pros: 1. The congeniality and the people willing to help.
2. Being a very large company, IBM has jobs in almost every field in CS and many non-CS fields.
3. You can develop niche skills that are tough to find elsewhere.
Cons: 1. Reading legacy code and supporting old technologies might seem uninteresting to fresh college graduates.
2. Being very huge has its own disadvantages – like a few processes or rules that might not make a lot of sense but have to be followed.
