IBM is not the place for you if you value compensation and an appropriate evaluation of your job performance.
Pros: Flex-time and work from home options. There are lots of e-learning opportunities that you can take of advantage of on the learning @ IBM site. Opportunities to consult on a variety of topics.
Cons: Salary is lower than industry standards.
Formal evaluation of work performed (PBC) does not truly reflect employee's performance. Evaluations are distributed  based on formula. So many individuals must receive a low number no matter if they actually performed at a higher level . There are lots of ways that you must document the work that you've performed/ There is a utilization requirement wherein you end up not really getting any paid time off (vacation / holiday) because you are working extra hours to make up for any "time off" you may be taking.
