      Pros

      Good place for work/life balance. You have the flexibility to work from remotely or from home. Big company with many areas of opportunities to work in. The company rewards you for innovating and coming up with ideas that generate patents. The people are generally competent and easy to work with.

      Cons

      Large company with plenty of red tape. Sometimes can be very political. Working across groups and components can be challenging. There can be a lot of negotiating between groups on how to split revenue and this can hamper or completely halt a project. Different groups internally may have similar products that compete with each other.

      IBM is no longer loyal to employees they way it used to be.

      Pros

      IBM contributions into 401k and health benefits are good. The pay for most jobs is a little higher than other companies - that is, whenever they decide to "honor" us with a raise (which unfortunately hasn't been consistent). There are many IBM Facilities and Project Offices all over the world.

      Cons

      Sending work overseas and laying off their "family" or bringing people in from other countries who take the jobs away from United States citizens. They think they will save money with paying people from other countries lower salaries, but there have been too many problems with communication barriers and time differences. In the long run, I believe there are more problems than solutions. There have also been too many times when IBM has said we had a good year, but then tell us we did not do well enough to warrant giving us raises.
