The Security Blues
Pros: IBM hires incredible talent and as a result it provides a great opportunity to learn and collectively grow your technical skills.  I can say without hesitation that I am a more knowledgeable and valuable employee because of the the interaction I had with some of the IBM team.  I still keep in touch with several of my peers -- both those that have left for other companies and those that still remain with IBM.
Cons: The balance of work and personal life is often lacking in order to meet objectives, make deadlines, and please clients.  For some, this trade is acceptable when appropriately compensated financially and through career growth.  I found both to be lacking for myself and my peers in general.
