Pros

World-wide scope. Great respect for skill and competence. Oodles of opportunities. Lots of emphasis on fairness in the corporate culture. Flexible working arrangements.

Cons

In the last 10 years or so, the company has outsourced many many jobs to low-wage markets. I suppose it's good if you are an IBM shareholder, but it is been terrible if you are an employee in the US, Canada, Europe, Japan or Australia.

Pros

About the best work / life balance in the industry. Compensation is about average, but flexible work hours, work from home, time to grow your career and not a lot of pressure from management makes it a good place to work.

Cons

Stacked ranking breeds a culture if employees that try to work on many items at the same time, with little to no deep results on any single one.
