      Pros

      Work Life Balance. You can easily schedule things during the work day that you need to take care of and make up the time after hours.

      Cons

      Getting any sort of raise is like pulling teeth. IBM spends a lot of time pushing for you to enjoy life while working. They offer most employee's the option to work from home. The only problem with this is that you have so much work to do that you end up working more from home. The method they use to measure employee utilization is also very flawed. They end up pushing people beyond limits with work which causes the quality of work to suffer. Upper management is always looking for the quick fix to increase profits. But not willing to spend money.

      Pros

      If you have an opportunity to work from home, then go for it. If you can negotiate a salary you wish to keep forever, then by all means you should join Big Blue. IBM benefits, while ever more expensive, offer some options like medical coverage which doesn't let insurance companies deny coverage for preexisting conditions.

      Cons

      IBM is not the same company I started at 10+ years ago. Fair raises, even cost-of-living increases, do not exist. All company focus is on getting offshore resources to do as much work as possible in order to replace US resources. Benefit costs keep going up annually, actually outpacing our stagant salaries. After 10 years, I have yet to be offered a single training class.
