Pros

The salary and benefits are great. Training is provided and you can earn a college degree (I got my Masters) while working full-time.

Cons

Periodically they have large "right-sizing" exercises which leave many employees unemployed. I realize this is a sign of the times but it stings no less.

Pros

IBM has dynamics atmosphere where knowledges are shared freely, no rigid hierarchy. The office is really good, though as a specialist, I spent most of my time at client's. But the work anywhere system really gives the sense of working in 21st century.

Cons

As a specialist, there's no standard work time, you can start work at night and finished the day after, the mobile working system they got is good, but you may miss some notion of social life.
