Would never work there again
Pros: Decent compensation.  But watch-out for those who become employees in an acquisition!  They do not grand-father tenure from previous company in compensation calculations when they lay you off.  Also, they are committed to drawing down their US staff as much as possible.
Cons: Our small customer-focused software company was acquired by IBM SWG in 2009.  They laid-off 25% of us within first year.  They would not allow us to go to training for other software tools.  Their bureaucracy and "blue washing" is ridiculously cumbersome.  They were only interested in Sales numbers and only gave lip service to customers.
