Pros

Decent starting pay, decent benefits. Flexibility to work from home as needed

Cons

Everyone seems to be extremely overworked. My daily meetings on Friday usually involve 50% of the team saying "I hope to get done over the weekend". Also, moral is a joke, IBM really doesn't seem to care about having productive or happy employees. And, the continual fear of being RA'd (IBM speak for layoff)
