Work hard, learn a lot
Pros: People at IBM are very smart and at least when I was there, felt a strong sense of purpose.  Plenty of opportunities to learn and lead on exciting new technology topics.
Cons: Many initiatives do not gain sufficient traction to really have an impact.  Many IBMers now feel that the company's focus on non-US markets has hurt the ability to lead.  Others are comfortable with the direction.  Most IBMers work non-stop, with little regard for weekends or evenings or early hours.  If you are needed on the call, you get on it.
