Good for a frehsres
Pros: I was a full time employee with IBM R&D and did enjoy the work there. Though timings were stiff, but the work from home feature helped a lot to control the fatigue. Compensation for freshers is fine but over the period it doesn't seem to move as HR policies are bad and increment is less. I appreciate the work and the smart people you find around you. Good learning curve. But, move on when you feel stuck
Cons: Managers can be rigid. Also, too many hierarchy for you to move up. IBM is an elephant and it takes years to reach a good managerial position. But, once you are there, it even more tough. But, managers were shifted across divisions too frequently that was an issue in my case as it lead to trust issues. Overall as company IBM still is a name everywhere wants to link themselves with, and is a name you wish to have on your resume.
