Pros

Still unbelievable resources, breadth of scope and fantastic people on the lower levels that not many companies can match, no matter how much they talk about it.

Cons

Need to change the name to ISS, International Support and Services, because it is barely a Business Machines business any longer. And I don't know any other company that would see the kind of results they have seen for the past 12-13 quarters and continue with the "leadership" that is basically destroying one of the great success stories of the past 100 years.

Pros

Decent benefits, many incredibly smart people. Get to work on the cutting edge of high end computer systems. Good place to start a career.

Cons

Constant decline of benefits (except for upper management), constant layoffs, work being sent to India so you liaison with a team there constantly. If you work on a cutting edge processor chip that is being hotly pursued by management you are treated like a king with perks, everyone else involved with the product is made to feel inferior with no perks and extremely crunched deadlines.
