Unstable long-term US employment, but, otherwise a great opportunity.
Pros: IBM provides employment flexibility, independence and a sharing of knowledge with professional co-workers.  As an Enterprise Architect and Trusted Advisor, I was able to provide strategic influence over customer technologies and business operations.  It was a great opportunity to help many different organizations.
Cons: I had little influence on IBM's direction and management seemed to have been trying to figure out what the next leadership direction might be, at least regarding US employment.  Employee concerns over employment may be summed up in a remark I heard...  There are 2 types of IBM'ers, those that were laid off, and those that fear they will soon be laid off.
