Pros

There isn't much over time needed normally, so you get to spend more time with family. During peak season, you might need to put in some extra hours, but that's all within an acceptable range.

Cons

The pay isn't too great compared to other major companies in the industry. There is no or very few bonuses these years. It's difficult to get a decent pay raise during annual salary review.

On-boarding

Pros

IBM paid for relocation with some specific requirements to be eligible for it. Paid for rental agency (Apartment/House purchase). On-boarding treatment is satisfactory if not the best.

Cons

As the company itself is huge, to learn and fit into its internal system could take months. More likely you will get assigned quite a heavy workload pretty soon before having enough time to learn things.
