Pros

I think the best thing in IBM research is the man power. I've been working there for almost 8 years and it has been a genuine pleasure. The work environment is usually very calm and most of the time very oriented (you don't get the feeling that you are all alone and not sure what to do).

Cons

Being a contractor employee. No where to advance.

Pros

Great work/life balance. Decent salary. Lots of opportunity if you are in the right business.

Cons

If you are in a division where IBM is trying to reduce its footprint, you will get laid off. Is cutting costs to reach its $20 EPS 2015 goal instead of investing in the company, this is causing IBM to eat itself and manipulate its earning numbers. This is not a plan for long term growth.
