Pros

Good learning opportunity since IBM software labs department is mostly focused on launching new and innovative products. So you will get to do POCs, and from scratch project development. Juniors also get good opportunity to technically lead the team of even seniors.

Cons

Work culture is very bad, it's like startup where everyone blames others for release delays or some breaking code. No work life balance, manager can ask to work after working hours and even on weekends.
