Pros

It's a large company with lots of talented people - a great place to learn in almost any field in the industry.

Cons

The company is too bureocratic. I always had the feeling the IBM is just too large, and the management tries to play always on the safe side, never getting into risky investments, which sometimes means bleeding edge projects and great ideas getting cancelled.

Pros

Work/life balance is great simply because many of us work from home.

Cons

Salary and band promotions are rare regardless of your performance. There is no budget for outside training (classroom). Entire teams are being laid off and replaced with workers from a lower cost region. That is hardly necessary in order to remain competitive, especially for a company with huge profits. It's interesting that the executives making all the decisions still have their raises, bonuses and jobs.
