Laid back atmosphere
Pros: In my position there are no tight deadlines to speak of.  Pretty laid back.  Plenty of work to keep my busy, but not a lot of pressure to meet hard deadlines.  I come from just the opposite so it's a huge difference for me.
Cons: Lotus Notes is terrible... I feel like it is the mid 90's.  It's slow and buggy... I honestly could not stand using it if I was in my previous high pressure (and high email volume) job... Since my role at IBM is pretty laid back  the lost productivity just means I get less done... but that's OK.        

Required use of Linux as a desktop for anyone with privileged access.   I like Linux as a server and like the command line but hate it for desktop OS.  

Things can be slow to happen... like getting access to things or policy changes... etc...
