Pros: This is only for Software Labs. It is a nice place to work. The people are good; since it was my first job, there was a hell of a lot of learning. The work-life balance is good. The management and everyone understand that you have a life outside the office, but the work always gets done no matter what. They pay well, considering all the flexibility and work that we do. There is also good recognition of work if you really stand out from the crowd. If you are just another person working as a software guy for the heck of it, don't bother; it will be the same for you everywhere. There is a good amount of energy in people to innovate and write new patents/ideas, which are rarely found in that much quantity in other companies.

Cons: It all depends on who your manager is and how much of an effort you put in for good results. I do not have any cons in particular. I have got everything I needed while I was there.

Pros: IBM is a good place to work, if you are not much concerned about your salary increment. It's a best place for relaxed work pressure and suits more to female employees.

Cons: No salary increment at all.

Pros: Excellent learning and great experience to work with IBM.

Cons: No such bad experiences to be mentioned.
