Pros

It is a very stable environment to work, and if you don't like doing what you like, odds are pretty good that you can switch to another division in IBM fairly easily.

There are a large number of interesting projects going on at any given time, and it's nice to be able to say you work at IBM.

Cons

Management is completely unaware of what is required to produce quality products, at least in my division of IBM. There is a general lack of respect and concern for the products, and it is obvious that many of the managers are only concerned with their careers without any regard to anything or anyone else.

Advice to Management

Start paying attention to the problems that are being faced and find the root cause. Also, throwing more managers at a problem won't cause it to go away. It only insulates you from the issue for a while.
