Pros

Good experience with peers with advanced degrees, but receiving not-so-friendly feelings from lower-level tech staff.

Cons

Hardly know level 2, 3 or higher management members who have a duty to announce bi-annual layoffs. Workers do not die from workloads but from anxiety-induced stress. If you plan to live longer, work for another company or stay away from IBM as far as you can. If you do, try to garnish/save as much as you can and prepare for layoffs when you reach age 50 or up. May the force be on your side!
