Pros

It's a good place to learn and increase your skillset and there's a lot of smart people working there. The name "IBM" looks pretty good on your resume.

Cons

There's basically no formal training classes any more. They used to just let you just sign up and take whatever you wanted, but now they says there's no money. The benefits get smaller every year. Health insurance costs more every year with higher copays and less coverage.

Pros

There are not many, if any good reasons to work for STG. The only good reason I can think of to work for STG is a steady pay check for the short term.

Cons

There is no appreciation or respect for employees, management is incompetent and decisions/promotions/raises are completely political in nature. It is not what you know or what you do, its who you know. Upper management is too greedy with the distribution of wealth, leaving employees with only crumbs.

Pros

During my 10 years with IBM I was able to work on things that I would not have been able to do elsewhere. I also worked with some excellent colleagues.

Cons

Money. I had positive feedback on my assignments, I did "giveback", I got on really well with the customers. I got nothing from them. I had no pay rise in my last five years with the company. I believe the last pay rise that I did get, was because I caught my manager lying to me, and he was embarrassed.
