IBM is just another job
Pros: IBM has a great (but fading) legacy of hiring only the most competent, ethical, and motivated employees. It is uncommon to work with an IBM employee who is not exceptional. There are still a lost of great people at IBM.
Cons: For the past 10+ yrs, IBM Management has firmly placed their allegiance with the IBM Stockholders  to the neglect of IBM customers (and more especially, IBM employees). The once vaunted IBM policies of "respect for the individual" and "full employment" were finally dispensed with by Lou Gerstner. Ever since, IBM has never missed an opportunity to take more and more away from employees: pensions, reimbursement for office expenses, funding for education, 401K contributions, etc. Now, its just another job.
