Pros

Used to be that services was the growing business and secure placee to work. Services offered huge variety to grow your career.

Cons

No resources to perform the work required - and additional requirements of sellers with conctractual/pricing requirements that make it difficult to get contracts to customers, price out of range against BP's, and harder to win business.

I enjoyed my time at IBM. Good employer over all, reorgs were a constant but generally they did seek employee input.

Cons

Big company bueracracy is the name of the game.

Pros

Lots of a vacation: 15 days plus 4 "personal choice holidays", so basically 19 days of vacation to start with. The schedule is also flexible, if you need to work from another city or work from home to receive a delivery, it usually isn't a problem. Likewise, there are no set number of sick days: if you are sick, you don't come in. This also leads to you tending to work while you are out sick or on vacation (just a quick email check...), which skews your work/life balance a bit.

Cons

Upper management is completely disconnected from the "grunts". We are told to do things simply because they come from "higher up" than our first or second line manager, but these things are being done everywhere from Los Angeles to Smallville, Kansas. The country, states, and cities are not one-size-fits-all, but our performance is measured as such. Our pay, however, is not, so you need to balance time between the BS that doesn't help so that you keep your job, while still managing to finish what you would otherwise have gotten done so that you continue to get paid.
