IBM Armonk
Pros: IBM has incredible internal marketing.  When working within IBM, you actually start to believe that you are fortunate to work at IBM and that the company is on the brink of a brilliant transformation.   The town halls and internal events feel celebratory even when the earnings calls are anything but positive.  And even when you're working 16+ hours per day and under pressure to perform miracles.
Cons: The stress level at IBM creates a toxic and unhealthy environment.  So many colleagues endured stress related health issues and medical leaves that I lost count.  It wasn't until I left IBM that I realized that "work life balance" still means something outside of IBM.
