Pros
Flexible Work for personal life issues. First line management was often supportive, though had no power in decision making for your career goals
Cons
IBM provides lower pay versus comparable positions around the country in other peer companies. On top of the lower pay, there is also an instablity of of employment due to what they deem a competitive market forcing them to take resource actions. Though this extreme reaction does not seem to be on par with other organizations as frequent as IBM. There is also a large barrier between upper management and "everyone else", which provides a huge gap of uncertainty among employees as to how they "benefit" the company as a whole.
