Pros: Best reason to work at IBM India Software Labs: The work culture is quite good; you will feel that once you are in. It also depends on specific teams, but overall, it is great.
Work-life balance is also good. It depends on your team as well; if they are from a different time zone, then you may need to work late, or at least meetings will be late.
Cons: One con I found here is about compensation. It's different for every college, you know, tier 1, 2, and 3.
Obviously best for tier 1, better for tier 2, okay for tier 3.
