Stay inside "The Box"

Pros

Working from Home and time management. Most of the direct managers are good and give you the flexibility to do you job. Management is good at giving you a work-life balance. At the end of the day, as long as the job is done!

Cons

They don't ask or want you to think "Outside the box" Only focus on your area, your cube, your space. They preach the need for new ideas, but aren't willing to consider them.

Pros

Huge company with HUGE expections to live up to.

Cons

IBM treats its employees very poorly. Benefits and perks have been stripped away over the last 10 years. Now they will come for your job and your salary. Everyone lives in fear of the layoffs. There are startlingly few resources for such a big company with that much cash on hand. Big new projects don't have the budgets to meet their targets properly. It's only a matter of time before quality becomes a big issue.
