IBM Jobs In Transition
Pros: I worked for IBM to obtain training and opportunity. Even though there have been significant cutbacks in funding for education, IBM is still a good place if you need to further your education, (e.g.BA, Phd). The work at IBM is challenging and looks good on a resume.
Cons: No matter what career path you take, expect to get the feeling that you will be laid off any moment. Layoffs are the norm as work transitions outside the US.  Pay and benefits also change constantly so expect to spend a lot of your time with financial planning and understanding health insurance terms.  Pay is OK for employees hired with upper level degrees.  Don't expect recognition if you earn an upper level degree once hired.
