Pros

None. Unless you like working for a huge company.

Cons

IBM has no clue about developing software. It just assimilates smaller companies and tries to shoehorn them into IBM's way of doing things, which results in low-quality products.

It also treats its engineering staff like interchangeable cogs, laying off highly paid, experienced engineers for inexpensive college hires, assuming they can do the same job.

Advice to Management

Let people who know what they're doing do what they do best.
