Pros

There is a lot of potential to go into new or developing areas, such as the Watson AI and machine learning space. Tons of different technologies are in play that you can learn. Your front-line manager will make a huge impact on how you perceive the company and progress your career. Benefits seem average.

Cons

Typical megacorp. It takes a long time to get things done. There is a lot of red tape. IBM seems to be stalling versus its competitors. Salary and benefits seem low compared to other technology firms.

Advice to Management

Too much focus on Earning Per Share (EPS) and not enough on technology and PEOPLE. You're letting a lot of talent slip away to your competitors.
