Pros

- Used to be a good place for new hires to learn - Still a somewhat respected brand - Very rich legacy business (mainframe) - Competitive average compensation - Good understanding of how to operate a real world wide operation

Cons

- Has not created a single new technology in the last 10 to 15 years and thus lost most of it's relevance in the market - Company focused on market fireworks and make believe, most of it useless beyond capturing headlines, to keep stock price from being perceived for what it's worth - Leadership mostly has eyes for their compensation (mostly stock related) so they have no incentives to really grow the company or to make bets on REAL future growth - Leadership promotes market reverberating moves like acquisition of Red Hat, spin off of services business etc. as a way to buy time while "transformation" will take some two to three years so please be patient - Meanwhile, no real growth and continuous bleeding of people being laid off and a plethora of manuevers to cut cost to try to boost earnings per share.
