Pros: 15 days PTO. Good direct managers.

Cons: Layoffs. Depending on the role, you could get stuck there due to knowledge that is only useful there. If you combine those two, good luck finding a new position. Coworkers might never respond to your emails.

Pros: They are very flexible. Calm environment.

Cons: Too slow. Everything takes a very long time.

Pros: The people there are smart and want to make a difference. The name still has some cache, so getting a job somewhere else is easier. Lots of potential to work on interesting projects. Truly global if you like to travel.

Cons: Upper management has gone off the rails. Google "IBM Gear box". I was a new college hire with a two-year "2 rating". I was threatened with the gear box along with 9 other random members of a team of 23. I took the time to leave and found a better job. If the company wanted to cut in my line of business, have the class to just lay us off and pay severance – now it's a maximum of 2 months. When first-line managers can't tell you what is going to happen, and months go by, then they say "back to business as usual"; * People leave on their own as there is no stability. * People who stay, individual and team morale is destroyed. I worked for 2.5 years in a line of business that had been an on-premise offering for ten years and was transitioning to a cloud offering. When I left, dev was still working on the concept of agile iterations and did not have a stable product to transition current customers to or sell to new customers. Genie talks a great game, but in the trenches, it's falling apart. Watson is 10 years away from making money. We missed cloud altogether. Blockchain is 7+ years away from making money. What then? Rely on services and legacy computing for the next 10 years? As you can see, Wall Street thinks the same thing.
