Pros

Good professional atmosphere, a good team to work with, supportive. Humongous learning tools to learn from. Learning in IBM is open; you can go places.

Cons

Salary is not competitive. There is no variable pay, only profit sharing. Hikes are in the range of 2 to 5%, and even those are not given every year.

Career-wise, you can come to IBM to learn. However, if you want to grow in your career, learn at IBM for 3 years and then hop companies to thrive career-wise and monetary-wise.
