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.

Pros

A lot of scope to move your career laterally. Large company ,so potential to be exposed to large projects and work with smart people.

Cons

Strong management focus on compliance and process over outcomes. In my area, little reward for success and no encouragement to move up in the organisation.
