The new IBM?
Pros: Working remote is embraced and for the most part, embeded in the culture. 

Excellent 401k plan.
Cons: Bureaucratic! It's extremely hard to get things done efficiently in this company. Escalations are the norm vs. the exception. 

At the end of the day, you're just a replaceable "resource". Pay raises are few and far between...and no where near the pace of inflation. Profit sharing is a joke. In my division, I would only receive profit sharing when the entire division did well - regardless if the specific projects I managed and controlled were profitable and successful. It was very rare that the entire division did well, and when they did, the amount of the profit shared was minuscule. Somehow, the CEO and top brass always seemed to get their bonuses. 

The talent pool has been depleted in the ever going chase to reduce cost.
