Pros

IBM Software Grouo is active in many areas of technology, so there are always interesting projects to work on. I have also discovered that it is very possible to have a great deal of freedom within IBM, provided one can demonstrate the value of what you are doing.

Cons

During the Gerstner years, there seemed to be less focus on process, audits, etc. That, sadly, has been returning lately. Also, givne the current (jan 2009) economic woes, there is a fair bit of apprehension among employees--however, I suspect that is true of almost all companies and all employees these days 8-(.
