Pros

IBM is forefront in adopting new technologies and practises. Even with the size, they have the capability to operate like a startup

Cons

While the work part of aligning like a start up is very good, its not the same on the renumeration front. This makes it challenging to retain as well as hire folks with relevant skills.
