Pros

Flexibility is the key. I do what I want, when I want; I head in late and I leave early. As long as I get my work done, no one says anything to me. It's almost like working for your own company that is barely struggling along. The people are great too, and if it weren't for them, IBM would have a huge problem retaining people.

Cons

Pay sucks. Don't come here to be rich or even decently paid. Even when told you are doing well, you will not get rewarded. No stories of great raises, bonuses, or stock options. Just keep your head down and work.

Advice to Management

Pay the employees
