Pros
IBM's not a bad place to work. Currently most are being moved back to select offices so don't join unless you're looking at being at one of the offices. Many of us are being asked to relocate to one or leave. This is the current IBM. Management up the chain is pretty faceless and no one down the chain feels like they care about us as people, just resources. When they have a layoff it's called a Resource Action. They cut resources, not people.
Cons
Never knowing if you'll be a part of the resource action. I've known quite a few people who are very good get that. It's because of mandatory head cuts, not because they weren't up to par
