Not What It Used To Be
Pros: In twenty years at IBM, I have worked with the best and the brightest.  The people are hard working and their blood runs blue.  My job has included travel all over the US on short and long term projects.  My immediate managers have all been remote and only had a chance to meet a few in person.  You are given the freedom to do your job.  Benefits are not bad but seem to be reduced each year
Cons: Many changes at IBM and not positive ones. The 401K match was reduced to 3% match, no raises and meager annual bonus.   CEO and Board seek only to enrich themselves by laying off long time employees (older) employees and replacing with off-shore resources.  Limited availability for training and transfer. IBM now stands for India Business Machines
