Pros

Being a huge company, if you intern or co-op at IBM, it becomes very easy to find a position in the multitude of groups. Even if you didn't enjoy what you worked on during an internship, consider that there are hundreds of other teams you could join, all working on different projects.

IBM has great benefits and pays well. You really have to find the team/division that's right for you, as company culture and expectations are very different in different groups.

Cons

Being a huge company, dealing with any issues with HR is a huge pain. I wouldn't say this is a dealbreaker; it's just a nuisance, especially when starting a new position. IBM is trying to be 'more agile,' etc., right now, which is great, but there are growing pains.

Advice to Management

Smooth over HR on-boarding processes.
