Pros

Ability to sometimes work from home offers employee a great opportunity to look for another job while not being snooped on by your boss. You WILL be fired eventually, so it's nice to start looking for a new job from day one. The vast empty hallways on site are great to use for adult sized 'Heelie' shoes.

Cons

It's hard to concentrate and read your computer screen through the tears.

Pros

Plenty of opportunity to learn best practice in development, project management and service management. Work with highly intelligent and dedicated teams.

Cons

Don't think that just because you are at one of the biggest IT companies in the world you will be working on cutting edge technology. In the Services arm of the business, you work on old equipment with limited funding for investment. You often create home grown solutions instead of using existing technology because they won't fund it. Lots of political limitations here. Horrible morale. They do not concern themselves with the best interests of their employees or customers.

Pros

Decent pay for the area, great resume builder. Legitimacy of IBM/big blue

Cons

WIth IBM its not IF you will be fired/laid off, its when. That being said, if you know that going in, its a great opportunity that opens doors to other places that are much more stable
