Pros
Great pension Extra holidays can be gathered / bought (or, indeed, sold) Some of the 'You' benefits such as cars compared nicely to civil service The IBM name still has an eyebrow raising cachet
Cons
Salary wasn't great Had to train clueless 'colleagues' who were brought in on a greater salary than I You need to play corporate email games to justify your yearly review score Too many layers of bureaucracy to getting anything actually done Some days wasted just stuck in meetings instead of getting actual work done Corporate indoctrination Lotus Notes is still the corporate email client
