Pros

Work in multi-cultural env. to broad the sights The governance (Matrix) Work with talents

Cons

Work/Life distortion (12+ hours per day) Budget shrinks year over year, being stingy to all employees, but asking technical people to create more and more innovative deliverables Then it means it is generous to shareholders (but not to employees, only 5% discounts of subscribing stock option) Punish young and new hires (taking longer and longer for promotion, less and less raise while being promoted.) The ROI is low when working on a hot product/project (no more bonus, no clever rating rules) Boring office layout (while the office layout is somewhere the creative works root)

Pros

IBM is good at the site I work at as they belive in flexibility, most important thing is you meet or beat project deadlines, other than that they are flexible as long as the work is being accomplished.

Cons

Lots of politics at times
