When I joined the company 30 years ago, its tenet was "IBM's most valuable asset is its employees". How times change...
Pros: Talented and bright colleagues (but numbers are diminishing due to layoffs).  Great locations (but dissapearing as they are gradually sold off). Exciting projects (but sweat shop working hours).
Cons: I guess the world is reorganising, and IBM Executives, morally bereft towards the loyal workforce who built it into the company it is, are moving it out of the US and Western Europe and into low wage economies such as India, China, Eastern Europe and Russia. If you are in one of those countries you will undoubtedly see these as good times, and open your arms to this company as relatively highly paid jobs come your way. If you aren't, give this company a wide berth, it has little to offer you.
