Pros

Good work-life balance (team dependent), strong stability.

Cons

Definitely an old boys' club mentality that's slow to embrace new technology. Very limited scope for salary growth. New hires will make more than you every year.

Advice to Management

Use a competitive wage for the market, generally undercutting by 15%. Big Blue is nice, and I'm proud to be an IBMer, but you can increase your take home by a lot with a lateral move to another company.
