Pros

Flexible work schedule, good benefits

Cons

Still participate in "mommy tracking", do not ensure that experienced employees salaries remain competitive and hire in new college graduates at salaries higher than employees who have been with the company almost 10 years, continuous cuts to budget result in no classes, uncomfortable travel arrangements, poor compensation, no bonuses, etc.

Pros

Wide range of internal opportunities means that you can build a career in IBM. Assigns a certain value to technical competence though the finacial rewards are to people with a sales or management orientation. Opportunities to work with interesting technologies. The UK Lab at Hursley has some fine technologies.

Cons

You are a small fish in a big pond. Internal promotions and payrises few and far between. Acquisitions are more important than existing business units. Driven from the US.

Pros

Great team! Marvelous technology! Exceptional reputation! Superior work environment! Opportunities to have hands on on expensive enterprise level systems. Freedom of choice how to implement. To deal with top IT corporate clients in Estonia. Great opportunities to enhance your professional knowledge, just be the man/woman to use it! The best balance between office hours, "on field time" and personal time.

Cons

No career advancement opportunities inside local organization. Some very strict regulations or in house policies. Only very limited selected models to choose from as corporate work accessories (like mobile phones, car models and laptops). Sometimes you must yell it quite loud to get some personal notice.
