Pros
  • Interesting intellectual work (You're not just coding UI. You're actually using problem-solving to figure cool stuff out).
  • People are generally really great.
  • I don't look forward to Friday as much as I used to.
  • First/second line management is especially great.
  • Flexible (very).
  • Learn a lot every week. Many of IBM's offerings are big enough that you'll never learn everything about them even if you work there for >30 years.
Cons

You're probably a nerd if you want to work here, but that's alright by me. No 401k matching currently. Some development infrastructure is really old, but it's not very bothersome.
