Pros

Many of IBM's employees are remote workers. This comes with both pros and cons. The pros are obvious: less gas used, less time spent traveling, flexible work hours, etc. The only real con is isolation. The division I work in has been extremely generous with flex time, allowing me to work when I want.

Cons

BM is such a huge organization that sometimes getting through the red tape to accomplish something is horrible. Most everything in my division is driven by customer dollars, leaving little room for R&D-type activities.
