Pros

Very quiet environment, at least at maintainance support. You have very good home working policies. There is no better place to work than your own house/appartment. The managers are also very good-

Cons

Regarding the conditions, the payment is very low here in Argentina as in most companies, but a bit lower than the average. It's not enough to get to the end of the month and save to buy whatever you want, a car , a house, or do your own business. The hiring conditions are very bad, because you pass the IBM interviews and examinations and after they tell you were successfull, they say oh.. we forgot, the hiring is thru a consultancy company we work with.. Most employees at IBM argentina are hired by third party companies,.

Pros

The brand name recognition is pretty much the only reason I can think of. IBM Global Services is a completely different beast from the innovative company that IBM is supposed to be.

Cons

Once you get in it's unlikely your pay rate or day-to-day work will change. Dealing with the massive amounts of bureaucracy and broken systems is bound to get you too tired to do any real work. And since this is the consulting branch of IBM you'll have to deal with the customer's bureaucracy as well.
