Pros

I used to think it was a great place to work with unbelievably smart people. Some are still left, but the numbers are dwindling quickly.

Cons

There is no longer respect for the individual in IBM. You may be lucky to have a great first line manager, like I am, but you are constantly worried about the next layoffs. It's a toxic environment.

Pros

Usually viewed as a plus on the resume. Some truly excellent co-workers, though also some dead wood protected by management.

Cons

IBM will take as much as you are willing to give, so you need to set boundaries. Rationale for raises/promotions is vague at best - management doesn't get much of a "raise budget" to pass around, and raises seem to go out based on personal relationships more than merit.
