Pros

Get to work alongside some of the best and brightest.

Work schedule is flexible.

Lots of different types of projects to work on; there is something fulfilling for everyone.

Cons

Lots of "red tape" within different groups at IBM.

Many employees at IBM find that their hard work gets overlooked very easily.

I have personally seen IBM release many brilliant software engineers and people for the strangest reasons, leading to low team morale in the end.

Teams were cut several times by 50% or more, and the same output from the team was the normal expectation.
