Only if you can't find work elsewhere
Pros: If you get one, the pay rises and bonuses are so small for the lower ranks that there is no reason (other than pride and the fear of the endless redundancies) to go above and beyond. This can be a pro however, as once you have reached the point where you no longer care if you get made redundant (even with the legal minimum redundancy payment now being standard for IBM) and have realised that it's not always the bottom of the pile that are targeted for redundancy so working hard won't necessarily save you, then you are free to be mediocre at work and have a great stress free home life. Also, eventually all the goings on become so ludicrous that it's actually quite entertaining once you learn to laugh at it all. So if the above sounds good and you can accept the fact your starting salary will be similar to your  end salary when you leave, you could fit in quite well.
Cons: It can get a bit depressing reading about Ginni's bonus going up and up and up as IBM's revenue goes down and down and down (just like the lower ranks pay rises, bonuses and perks). However, it inspires further mediocrity in the lower ranks so it's not all bad.
