Pros

Lots of expertise. IBM builds everything, so you can really learn all components of the solution.

Cons

Technology is not popular in the industry, so it is difficult to get transferable experience. Future employers will be looking for AWS experience instead of IBM Cloud.

Working on Power hardware or PowerVM, or AIX is not a highly desirable skill. You will learn plenty that will help you grow, but it may limit your future options.
