Pros

Safe in a sense that the company is not going out of business anytime soon. Some great colleagues, IBM is hiring highly talented employees.

Cons

Lack of transparency in major decisions affecting salary, and employment contracts. Resource actions (dismissals) are decided not based on merit but based on some not transparent internal politics. The company is only pretending to be fair and transparent. In reality managers break the internal rules without any serious consequences.
