Pros

IBM has a number of projects and initiatives that you can take advantage of outside of your "day job." They reward based on performance, and that has always been a selling point.

I had a recent opportunity to participate in the Corporate Services Corps (CSC) program and travel to Senegal for a month to provide free consulting services. I also had an opportunity several years ago to do a three-month assignment in Hursley, England, and work with my product's development team.

There are non-travel assignments as well that you can participate in, and the culture for innovation is very much encouraged.

Cons

The downside of working for IBM is changing jobs. It is sometimes very difficult to change jobs within IBM.
