Pros: IBM can provide an environment supportive of work life balance especially in relation to those family events which occur from time to time.
Cons: Extremely poor compensation.  HR's sole focus is on reducing $ per head and this is reflected in the treatment of employees with respect to salary, pay increases and bonus payments.
