Pros

Great people from all over the world and from many different companies creating a great opportunity to learn. Opportunities to work almost anywhere in the world. Still not bad healthcare and a fair 401k

Cons

The Bad....The pay is higher at other IT companies. The Ugly....They think nothing of expecting you to work 70 hours a week month after month and of course there is no compensation for it. Then when you do get a vacation there is no backup so when you get back you need to step it up to 80 hours a week for a while to get caught up.

Pros

Opportunity to gain true global experience and to meet IT people from many other companies who have been outsourced by IBM. Opportunity to work with many other large companies and gain the insight of how they run.

Cons

"Resource Actions"/layoffs all the time, never know when your number is up, exempt employees are often expected to work 60 to 80 hours a week and often form months at a time. Often the job requires travel, still need to do all the work with what hours remain in the week. Compensation is not that of the competition unless you are a new hire and negotiate real well. This year the lady running IBM canceled variable pay.
