Pros

Educational benefits are very good

Cons

Raises are almost non existent no matter how you perform. Feedback is usually ok, but the ratings are bogus, and feedback is often tailored to match the number you manager was told to give you. Rampant outsourcing outside of the US and layoffs to match.

Pros

Lots of work from home positions Good for the resume

Cons

There is no work life balance. IBM even started calling it work life integration. Constant threat that your job will move off-shore
