Pros

Good Pay, some flexibility... really depends if you work in Hardware or Software. Payscale is good compared to other companies at least in Austin

Cons

off shoring, complex management system. Likes to make everything single thing way too complicated. Management does not value employee loyalty and experience... if they don't need you, then you are out. management keeps changing often. Its hard to focus when you management keeps on re organizing every 4 - 6 months. By the time you get comfortable working with one manager, you have another manager and his style to adapt to. Employee morale is also low because of this.

Pros

In IBM, You can BS your way around if you're into that. There are too many people working on power point slides and very little on actual products. That is normally a negative unless you're one of the 90% who dial to conference calls 60% of the day while day dreaming.

Cons

Too many incapable people thinking they're good. Bands (promoted levels) are very inadequate to assess a person's ability to deliver. Seen too many senior level or higher employees who are just average and not more.
