There was a time when IBM was considered the best of the best... unfortunately those days are gone.
Pros: Great reputation. Recruiters seem to be impressed when they see "IBM" on a resume
Cons: In today’s IBM, many employees are just keeping their heads down trying to avoid a layoff (resource action) before completing their successful job search or vesting of their health and retirement benefits. IBM has a substantial morale and leadership problem.  Each quarter brings another round of layoffs, divestitures, reorganizations or broken promises. This dark cloud of uncertainty impairs our vision to imagine the possible; our ability to innovate; and our focus on clients. The result is that the average IBMer believes that they could be terminated regardless of their individual performance, skills, and contributions.
