Pros

It gives you flexible work timings. Has work from home facilities which is useful to catch you in the night 1:00 AM. Has good management system in place to track progress of projects.

Cons

Lot of discrepancy in pay structure with in the same band. Progression in IBM very much depends on Senior Management. Some of the accounts are very huge and not much opportunity for Onsite.

Pros

Lots of interesting products and projects of various flavors, so an employee need never be bored. There is also sufficient cross-mobility across teams.

Cons

Many of the products and technologies are "legacy" and not sexy. Working on those has a downside in that you end up being non-marketable. Also, STG is conservative and risk averse.
