IBM UK - A great place to work
Pros: Benefits far out-weigh any cons.  IBM UK treat their employees fairly and many employees stay for the length of their career - a lifetime.  The number of employees above 25 years service is far more than would be expected at any other corp.  Lots of opportunities for career progression and / or jumping sideways to another field or opportunity.
Cons: Politics, size of company, differentiation between brands and geographies.  Poor internal support.  Anything takes a lonnnngggg time to get done unless you're one of the few lucky ones with the internal knowledge and / or know-how or the "I'll do it myself attitude"
