The Good and Bad
Pros: IBM offers a very flexible work situation, whether or not people take advantage of it.  The work at home policies, and the level of benefits are superb.  Although many will complain when comparing the current IBM to what "used to be", the fact remains that they are ahead of the pack in most respects.
Cons: Global Resourcing has led to a culture of low annual raises, and when this is combined with the increasing cost of healthcare that is passed on to employees, this can definitely lead to a monetary squeeze.  And while the Work At home can be an advantage, it can sometimes lead one to feel disconnected from a team.
