Pros

Many of IBM's employees are remote workers. This comes with both pros and cons. The pros are obvious: less time spent in travel, flexible work hours, etc. The only real con is isolation. The division I work in has been extremely generous with flex time, allowing me to work when I want.

Cons

IBM is such a huge organization that sometimes getting through the red tape to accomplish something is horrible.

Most everything in my division is driven by customer dollars, leaving little room for R&D type activities.
