Not the IBM we used to know
Pros: Can't really think of any other than we could work from home anytime we wanted (beneficial with school age kids).
Cons: Where do I start?  Portions of my former employer's IT area were outsourced to IBM and we were "encouraged" to apply for the same work there (after hearing that IBM didn't want any of us but were forced to take us by our former employer).  We got a 1% increase in our salary and for the 3 years I worked there there was no other salary increase.  Our portion of the business was managed out of India and other than attempting to bully us (seems the only way they know how to get their point across is to yell) they only cared about SLAs and were you making sure support tickets did not fall out of compliance.  There was no opportunity for growth and once they could move our work functions to India they did that (we were only guaranteed employment for 2 years).
