Pros

Encouraged to be innovative and expand your skillset (given time during normal work hours). Co-workers are generally positive and help you find your place within a team.

Cons

Policies, toolsets, and procedures change faster than teams can adapt - and a lot of really good tools and ideas are quickly tossed aside before they really reach efficiency. There is a lot of resistance to change from the veterans (both in age and experience) even if the changes will save them time and frustrations. But given the above con - you quickly see their point of view.

Pros

- Work-life balance - IBM ISL (India software labs) compensation is better than it's other Business units

Cons

- Slow career growth - Even ISL salaries are better than other business units but it's lesser than it's competitors - Management plays politics very well with your career, as long as you listen to the management you will be fine otherwise you won't. - Management won't encourage career changes even there are many emails we get for career guidance and change for name sake. - 3 months notice period which ties many people like in many organisations in India
