Pros: Growth opportunity for advancing skills, new technology, teams spread across the globe, job flexibility, work environment, and friendly coworker relationships.

Cons: Comparison-based compensation, where if you are doing a good job but everyone else is doing a little better than you, then you don't get any shared profit.

Pros: Decent pay, benefits, some flexibility.

Cons: I've worked for two different teams but with many in my time at IBM. The communication makes it feel as though there are no teams, just people working alone. Larger goals of teams and the company are unclear. The inner workings of the software are as complex as they come, and to boot, there is a real lack of documentation and training. It's all cult knowledge that will take years and years to obtain. There is easy early advancement, but it's just to keep you interested. Large workloads, and if you are not someone looking for a place to retire, this probably isn't the spot for you. General sentiments are a real lack of fulfillment and purpose.

Pros: Knowledge acquired, ease of access to employees worldwide. Opportunity for differentiated projects.

Cons: I have nothing to put as a counterpoint.
