A mixed bag but overall, heading in the wrong direction
Pros: broad resources to leverage for any assignment , reasonable pay, benefits historically excellent
Cons: benefits slowly going down the drain, constant US resource actions leading to extremely overworked people left (now you have to be billable at least 125-145% of the time just to be considered "average") extremely unfair rewards system (advertise that they "reward performance" but reality is, rewards are extremely limited so most who "perform" are definitely NOT rewarded due to the inadequate forced curve.  Innovation is possible at IBM, but definitely an uphill battle.  Most business units are purely interested in staffing their opps and nothing more--you will have to fight LONG and HARD to get anything new seriously considered--but, it IS possible at least.
