Pros

- Open Source - Big company (if you like those) - Job security and stability (whether you are successful or not)

Cons

- Still a Boys club - mediocre management in all areas (at least partially due to folks getting promoted for putting in their time or who they've been in the boys club with; vs performance based) - immature channel/alliances org (competitive with partners, little incentive for field to work with partners, and preference for parent company, IBM) - lack of career growth for women (most teams are male managers, few women are promoted) - far too many women have shared experiences of harassment by male colleagues and later know those men to be promoted through the org - minimal diversity overall
