Pros

There are a few work from home jobs, but not many.

Cons

If you are rated one of the top performers, your bonus is only a few hundred dollars and your raise is 2%. They do layoffs based on the account you are working on, not based on who is a low performer. The company is not doing well, and the only way IBM reduces costs is to lay off the worker bees.

Pros

In the Cloud division I work in, lots of people work from home full-time, which is very convenient.

Cons

Lots of layoffs and poor decisions made by senior management with no regard for the impact on customers and people's ability to get their work done. Strategy seems to be "keep cutting until customers start running for the exit." With fewer and fewer people to do the work, work/life balance continues to deteriorate and morale is very low.
