Pros

interesting projects, nice people (management and collegues), very good work/life balance, you can learn a lot. Advantage of the possibility to switch between divisions and job roles to gain experince for better personal growth.

Cons

The long long and never ending transformation process IBM is executing since many many years makes it very hard for employees to stick to IBM. In addition with a very poor salary. Also, promotions are rare like benefits and perks.
