Pros

IBM has a diverse employee strength, has work life balance, work from home and flexible working hours. Managers are more understanding and helpful.

Cons

There are very few cons in IBM, like very poor or no salary increment, you can take as many leaves you want but you will have to complete your utilization target, which indirectly means no/minimum leave.

Pros

Just cannot think of any...

Cons

Overtime work is expected, the norm, and you are never compensated for it. Also, in the four+ years that I worked there, nobody in my chain of command ever seemed to have a budget for travel, training, or conferences. Need an external monitor for your laptop because you program all day? Well plan to buy your own stuff, because "a laptop is all you need to get your job done" says IBM. Ridiculous! I wouldn't refer a friend or relative to IBM.
