Let me show you to the door.....
Pros: Interesting work if you can find it and manage to hang on.
Cons: The company outlook regarding employees has changed over the past 10 years and the propaganda that indicates that IBM Cares is really not believable. Two years ago IBM quietly changed their policy on Employee Separation such that every employee that was released would only get 1 month of severance (previously it was based on years of service). Thousands of employees with more than 25 years of service have been released since then and no longer get 6 months.  So when IBM loses contracts or clients cut back on work, IBM gives those employees 1-2 months to find another IBM job and if they cannot find one (tough competition and many posting are just for show, with 'fill by' dates that keep getting pushed out), they are out the door with their 1 month of severance. It is disgraceful how low IBM has stooped to save money and treat long-time employees that helped build the company. Just google "ibm severance package".
