Watch out older employees
Pros: * Leading edge technologies.
* Good place to get a start.
* Good support if you need time off work.
Cons: * No longer a good long term employer. Older employees are targets for layoffs. Check out how many people make it to retirement from this company today -- very few. This was very different in the past.
* You can no longer trust managers to watch out for you. Your career is now entirely your responsibility. If you get assigned to a "bad" project, you could get let go through no fault of your own. Watch your back - once again, very different from the old IBM.
