Pros

Competitive pay. Autonomy for subject matter experts and those with high levels of expertise and experience.

Cons

There is very little support or help in terms of providing meaningful education and training outside of the cookie-cutter videos and curriculum provided in IBM's internal library. The near-constant threat of layoffs and restructuring contributes to a highly stressful environment. IBM is a sales-driven company, not a technology-driven company; as such, management and teams are constantly playing catch-up.
