Pros: Comp off if working on holidays.

Cons: The reimbursement for working on a holiday is very low.

Pros: Global Brand & Recognition IBM is one of the most respected tech companies globally. Having it on your résumé adds credibility. 🧠 Learning & Training Opportunities Access to internal platforms like Think Academy, IBM SkillsBuild, and external certifications (AWS, Azure, Coursera). Strong culture of continuous learning, especially in AI (Watson), cloud, and data science. 🔁 Internal Mobility You can switch between departments, roles, and even geographies fairly easily once you're in.

Cons: Bureaucracy & Legacy Structure It's a huge company, and decisions can be slow. Legacy processes and approvals can frustrate those used to agile environments. 📈 Limited Career Acceleration (in some tracks) Promotions and raises can be slow in certain service-based or offshore roles. Recognition may lag behind effort. 💵 Compensation Variability While some roles pay well, many internal tech or GBS (consulting) roles offer below-market compensation, especially for early/mid-career engineers. 🧱 Siloed Teams Some teams work in silos, making cross-functional collaboration and innovation harder unless you're proactive.

Pros: HR policies are mostly employee-friendly.

Cons: Growth opportunities are quite few. The only way is through a regular promotional cycle, which has little weightage for your personal performance. Yearly hikes are below average.
