Pros

It's worldwide, one of the largest firms in the U.S. You'll meet very innovative employees when you join at IBM. Employees are very friendly to each other, and you feel a warmth of welcome.

Cons

You'll become an engineering subject matter expert in a very specific area, which is deep and narrow expertise. It's good and bad. When you try to find your next job outside of IBM, your expertise is so narrow that you might have difficulty finding a next job where you can utilize your knowledge from IBM's work.

Advice to Management

Look and estimate better for future direction, where consumers/clients are going.
