Pros

It has awesomely flexible work timings and great work-life balance, which includes some extra fun activities done within projects. This may differ from project to project, but IBM has well-established projects that are great to work on.

Cons

It might sound horrifying, but it's the bitter truth. You need to extend your work timings in order to meet your project deadlines.

This isn't true unless you're a Senior Engineer or a project manager.

Advice to Management

My advice is to have market-competent salary figures, even for the engineers who are working at IBM, apart from the managers. It's obvious that everyone knows they get paid up to the mark.
