Pros

Work from home, not much else.

Cons

No Growth for a driven professional IBM has no interest in their employees and is only driven by profit. You could be a "Resource Action (RA)" (fired) at any moment in time without any warning or for any apparent reason. Stay clear away from IBM if you care for your career.

Pros

* Good health benefits * Can work from home if needed * Decent amount of vacation * Pay isn't horrible

Cons

* IBM is moving all jobs out of the US * You are always a target for a lay-off - If India or China can do your job you WILL be laid off * Bonus pool non-existent * Raises non-existent * IBM only cares about their stock prices and will cut anyone and anything to get there.

Pros

Work from home and no travel

Cons

Too many levels of managers. BAD management decisions at at every level. Poor execution of critical processes and projects. Performance rating system is a complete joke. Begging for office supplies is embarrassing. Typical politics get in the way of trying to do the right thing.
