Pros

IBM Research offers great opportunities for scientific research, and development of new cutting edge technologies. In my opinion, this is the best and technically strongest industrial research center in the world.

Cons

Overall the place is very good. However, there are some minor irritating things e.g., there are no amenities you can find in almost every software company.
