Lost genius with a potential going waste
Pros: -flexibility and work life balance  the strongest points for IBM here. No questions asked as long as you deliver. 
- freedom to innovate and create value for self and the organisation. Great focus on IP creation. 
- less management meddling in day to day work (at least in the software labs, not sure about GBS)
- focus on employee empowerment in work as well as support functions
Cons: - less transparency in terms of management decisions and directions.
- very infrequent communication in terms of BU performance numbers, roadmap or product decisions, especially if you are not in US
- there is great focus on being self reliant (some read it as support functions are missing), if you are used to having your IT set up, finances, HR and other admin stuff being handled by these functions, BEWARE!  this is not the place to expect any of that. Nothing comes without spending time on intranet searching for information on how to do something. Some of it is changing, but they have a long way to go.
