It is good if you don't depend on your salary for living and want to telecommute

Pros

Telecommuting, access to large SW library.

Cons

Compensation is lousy, and only a select few are getting pay increases, but only if they give their life away to IBM. If you want to have work-life balance, forget about career advancement, promotions, and salary increases.

Advice to Management

Hire experienced professionals, not just straight out of college IBM lifers. Pay experienced professionals the market rate they deserve and let them change the old, obsolete ways IBM is doing business.
