Pros

The pay. Good pay and easy work. I have simple projects with lots of detail. The deadlines are flexible as long as I am making progress. The pay is great but since I am with a contractor, no benefits.

Cons

The lack of job security. One week im secure for years, the next week I am on the chopping block. Very nerve racking. There seems to be always a budget issue. Apparently it is possible to go from contractor status to full time regular status....but we shall see. Also there is no teaching. You need to learn the job yourself or you sink.

Pros

IBM is an extremely large company that has a variety of job opportunities. Many positions at IBM enable you to work from home when not at a client/customer.

Cons

Currently, IBM has too much management and has reversed the changes made by Sam Palmisano's predecessor. Therefore, there are too many chiefs and not enough indians. The career planning / mentoring at IBM is pure marketing hype and has no true value.
