Pros

There isn't much overtime needed normally, so you get to spend more time with family. During peak season, you might need to put in some extra hours, but that's all within an acceptable range.

Cons

The pay isn't too great compared to other major companies in the industry. There are no or very few bonuses these years. It's difficult to get a decent pay raise during the annual salary review.

Advice to Management

Make IBM's pay package more compatible, if possible.
