Pros

Amazing co-workers. Great work-life balance. Great pay increases over time (high performance recognized). LGBTQIA+ inclusive (USA).

Cons

Pushing for return to office (side note, they are granting exceptions, but I'm not sure how strict that is).

Benefits don't seem to include great options for healthy living. There used to be good benefits to support coworkers trying to get healthy, like CafeWell, but they have since gone away.

Dental plan not great (expensive for what you get).

Advice to Management

Don't push return to office. It's outdated. IBM notoriously struggles to move with the times; don't let this be another example.
