Pros
  1. Name that looks good on the CV
  2. Sponsor taking approved certificates
  3. Chance to learn IBM tools if you are in a good project
Cons
  1. Hire most of the staff as contractors first. Those who prove loyalty can be transferred to an IBMer, which is a workaround that deprives employees of their rights.
  2. Advancement in positions depends on your relationship with your manager.
  3. Managers ask employees to work 12 hours, and when an employee refuses, they turn their back on you.
  4. Sometimes they change the workplace to the client-side if it suits the management.
Advice to Management

Stop hiring engineers as contractors and logging unrealistic working hours.
