Pros

IBM Canada promotes flexible work hours - including the opportunity to work from home (when it makes sense.) This flexibility (especially in adverse weather conditions) is extremely valuable - especially when you have a family.

Cons

Market adjusted salaries are just a fancy-speak for "you're not getting a raise this year." The "rating" system is flawed, subjective, and leads to a bitter 85% of the workforce.

Pros

You can change jobs many times. This is actively encouraged. You don't get bored doing the same job for years and years.

Cons

Until you are a director there is little incentive to stay, but a lot of people do stay, hoping ot hit the big money. Once you hit director level the stock options kick in and you become a impossible to dislodge. You will eventually retire but you would never leave of your own accord. Cover your ass, you will not get sacked.
