Pros

IBM is full of very smart people to work with. My work was always interesting and challenging. I had freedom to innovate and be creative in my job and that innovation was recognized. IBM has good benefits, but current management is actively focused on reducing the benefits packages.

Cons

Current management is less competent than when Gerstner was in charge. Current management is not very concerned with their employees.

Pros

Flex hours, fairly good work/life balance opportunities, sick days are not taken from your vacation, not too political (at least in my group), decent benefits, good 401k matching

Cons

lowered vacation time for new employees (starts at 3 weeks and reaches 4 weeks max no matter how long you you work for IBM), no more pension or medical insurance after retirement (but nobody can afford that really anymore), some groups can be competitive and polictical rather than motivational.
