Pros

Decent and comprehensive set of benefits. Ability to interact and network with bright people. A robust infrastructure for access to employee benefit and technical information.

Cons

Annual resource actions by stealth that lop off 10% - even solid and above average performers - is demoralizing. Minuscule or no salary increases. Far too much political correctness required for advancement. I have over 20 years with IBM and moral is the lowest I have ever seen it. People are in fear of keeping their job and therefore reluctant to stretch into a new assignments for fear of being the low person on the totem pole when the next RA hits.

Pros

It still looks good on your resume. Its a good short term starting place, but opportunities for AREAL world experience are lacking. Management is forcing older workers out the door. Quality team mmebers are fleeing the company due to lack of respect and wage issues. You are no longer valued as a contributor, you are a deficit to the company. Contracts are NOT based on customer sat.. they are judged by who gets sued for breech of sla's. If you have a good customer sat, you are way over staffed. Use the time at ibm to gain resume experience. Do not plan on a lifetime career.. they dont exist anymore

Cons

Where to start... pay, stress, quality of management
