Pros

Family type of environment, Great benefits, respect for individual, flexible on work/life balance, and sick time off. Diversity is emphasized.

Cons

Salary is not equalized quick enough to match peers salary or band level, can take several years if ever. The diversity push is holding back the careers and exposing to termination thoes in the majority. Performance should be the only deciding factor for career and layoffs.

Pros

Very flexible in terms of work time, home office and so on. Its quite easy to maintain work life balance and be with your family at IBM. You even get pushed by the company to do so. Teamwork is great and everyone is very professional to get the job done.

Cons

Extremely process driven and some of the implemented processes really dont make any sense. Most of the time the processes are necessary and even a very good thing, but some of them are just not usable in the real world out there. Focusing the business on shareholder value as main issue is not very aplicable either.
