IBM continues to loose its way
Pros: A large corporation is like a city.  Where you live (work) has a direct bearing on your day-to day happiness and quality of life (job satisfaction).  There are pockets in IBM that are exciting to be in at the moment - Security and Watson are top of mind.
IBM is still a valuable training ground for college hires, where they can get very good experience in the IT industry and an insight into how large MNCs operate.
The resources for learning and self-enablement are vast if you have the inclination to ferret them out and make use of them.
Cons: IBMs attitude towards its workforce over the past 10+ is abysmal.  They are so bottom line driven that that they constantly cut off their nose to spite their face.  The offshoring and headcount cutting policies have become so bad, that they are unable to service their clients effectively.  This makes for a very overworked workforce for those that are there and morale is low in many places.  Raises and bonuses have been minuscule or non-existent for many years now.
