Pros

The people are cool, and the working experience is awesome.

I felt very valued at the company.

Cons

The work environment is not relaxed, as in other computer companies like Apple, Facebook, or Google.

Lots of people dressed in casual business attire (even for the IT department) which makes the work really feel like... work.

Most tools that we use are very IBM-specific, so you cannot recycle your experience to another company (you become very institutionalized).
