It's the people that make the company
Pros: Good overall benefits package and depending on grade car or cash allowance (band 8 and above).
Private health care (self) 
Defined Pension scheme
Flexible benefits (cycle to work, childcare vouchers, critical illness etc.)
Great community feeling across workforce
Cons: I spent nearly 20 years at IBM and it was a great company to work for up until the last 5 years of my tenure.

Lots of red tape, process heavy and hard to do business with.  Do not understand the meaning of agile!

Drive to offshore started a decade ago and is relentless every 3 months there is another workforce "re-balancing" exercise so you are never sure whether you are next for the chop.

It was with this always over your head uncertainty that I decided to resign, I should have made the move years ago as there is life after IBM.

Salary is lower than others in the industry
70% plus on the road
Expected to work long hours
