Internal competition
Pros: As an offering manager (i.e. product manager) the ability to shape the roadmap of a product used by customers.    Opportunities to evangelize the usage of a product.  A huge variety in day to day work and experiences.
Cons: The company's divisions are only incentivized for their own particular offerings.  Thus  if a division takes business away from another division it is rewarded.  This meant a lot of internal competition and bad behavior -- even if it made IBM look bad in front of a customer.  .  Also constant management changes meant a lack of consistency.
