Pros

Work and life balance, vacation flexibility, location flexibility.

Cons

Opportunities for career advancement aren't obvious, but opportunities to get stuck doing tedious work are frequent.

Advice to Management

Be more open about the declining investment in declining revenue areas. Supporting legacy technology is an IBM strength. Saying exactly how much is planned for declining areas is okay.
