Used to be Good
Pros: Working remotely, health benefits, coworkers, and first line manager.
Cons: 401(k) matching once a year, the lack of being able to reach anyone human in HR or any other department, lack of communication from the top. 
The biggest drawback, the constant layoff's, or as IBM calls them, Resource Actions.  While Companies layoff employee's, it is usually to rid themselves of deadwood.  At IBM, the cut to make the balance sheet look better.  Currently they are laying off as the Company transforms itself, but after 4 years of declining revenues, quarterly layoffs, the problem is not the workers, it is the upper management.  Being in sales if I have a few bad quarters, I get terminated, upper management has them and they get a bonus?  
Don't apply here if you want an employer you can grow with, here you will go down with the ship that is sinking faster than the Titanic. 
The CEO keeps changing direction and shedding assets to keep the shareholders earning.
The ship is sinking a slow but deliberate death, unless the top managers are changed it will continue to decline.
