Pros

Name recognition. People will be impressed when you tell them you work for IBM.

It's best to work there a couple years for the experience and move on.

Cons

IBM doesn't understand the concept of human capital. It's all about the bottom line. Senior employees are regularly let go because they earn too much and have too much vacation. New grads are hired for less, and IBM pockets the difference.

It's an "us and them" feeling between management. I always felt the managers were up to something the workers shouldn't know about.

Advice to Management

Be more transparent.
