Watson is vaperware and IBM cannot compete in the cloud space
Pros: In 2017, there are few to none.
Cons: IBM no longer supports work at home employees. Long time skilled employees are being told to move thousands of miles to specific work sites (even those in close proximity to an IBM location. No salary increase is offered nor is any guarantee of employment once you make the move. Should they decline, a contractor is hired, often working remote. It's a veiled attempt to reduce FT headcount for contract employees. Strong founders and contributors are leaving (my entire Watson team) for other opportunities given the absolute break down of a talented work force. And last, a colleague who CHOSE to  commute three hours daily to keep her job, was just laid off after 2 months.
