IBM Microelectronics
Pros: IBM Microelectronics works on some of the most bleeding edge technology projects in the industry.  You'll be working on industry leading projects.  IBM makes the processors in all the latest video game consoles and was a leader in developing multi-core processor designs.  Their foundry and manufacturing business
Cons: In my opinion, IBM doesn't want to be in the processor business.  They're just trying to milk the division until it no longer helps serve Services and Software groups.  I don't believe they compensate the microelectronics group fairly in terms of performance bonuses.  Server group almost always gets the lowest bonuses at IBM even though the other groups revenues are based upon server group hardware.
