Pros

They pay on time but not the best pay per industry.

Cons

The culture is terrible, all individualism and not team or overall vision. Leadership and management change often without improvement. Business strategy is unknown except for AI and Quantum. What about AI and Quantum is still very immature as the plan. The rest of the company that is under control of big blue is weak.
