Experience level: Senior

Great colleagues, very smart people, great big-picture technologies but management is only focused on the bottom line
Pros: Work at home flexibility, autonomy depending on your manager, pays well, great benefits; some big-picture projects.
Cons: Work overload, ongoing fear of layoffs, some of the processes are very rigid, extreme cost cutting that made team meetings impossible.  I never met my manager in the two years I worked for him due to cost reasons and we hadn't had a team meeting in 8 years for cost reasons.  Also while great, the work at home made some of us call IBM "I'm By Myself"
