Pros

- Interesting intellectual work (You're not just coding UI. Actually using problem solving to figure cool stuff out) - People are generally really great. - I don't look forward to Friday as much as I used to - First/Second line management is especially great - Flexible (very) - Learn a lot every week. Many of IBM's offerings are big enough that you'll never learn everything about it even if you work for >30 years.

Cons

- You're probably a nerd if you want to work here, but that's alright by me - No 401k matching currently - Some development infrastructure is really old, but its not very bothersome
