I am proud to have been an IBM'er.
Pros: Overall, IBM was a great company to work for.  The expect a lot from their employees, yet they still follow the motto from years past of "Respect for the Individual".
Cons: IBM has become a 'sweat shop'.   They are so focused on the return to the stock holder (which I understand is a primary responsibility of the CEO), however their strategy to move more jobs to other countries is begginning to take a toll on the US employees.   I was impacted by the 3/2010 resource action, but was fortunate to have 34 years, so technically I retired.  When looking at internal job postings after being notified, I estimate that only 10% of the PM jobs were in the US and of those 90% was 100% travel.
