Pros

A good learning opportunity, since IBM's software labs department is mostly focused on launching new and innovative products.

You will get to do POCs and develop projects from scratch.

Juniors also get a good opportunity to technically lead teams, even of seniors.

Cons

Work culture is very bad. It's like a startup where everyone blames others for release delays or some breaking code.

There is no work-life balance. Managers can ask you to work after working hours and even on weekends.

Advice to Management

There is a lack of professionalism in managers when it comes to handling difficult situations.
