Pros

-Comfortable working environment -Friendly People -Productive Atmosphere -Competitive rates for students -Management organizes a lot of activities -Flexible working hours

Cons are few and far in between. IT security policies are strict so being a part of internal support, this makes it annoying to keep all my systems and logins compliant.

Pros

It has an awesomely Flexible Work Timings and a great Work life balance which includes some extra fun activities which are done within the projects. This may differ from project to project, but IBM has some well established projects which are great to work on.

Cons

It might sound horrifying but its the bitter truth. You need to extend your work timings in order to meet your project deadlines. This isn't true unless your a Senior Engineer or a project manager.
