Poor Work Life Balance; Working For a Net Loss
Pros: IBM is a very establish corporate in Hong Kong, and it used to get big (and difficult) projects with other big names, although it's been getting more and more difficult clients recently. This means you get exposure to projects where you can learn a lot. 

From time to time, it provides employees with training (not very useful though) and help you to get certificate if you want and if you have time (which you might not).

There are also some very efficient and effective people working with you, from whom you might learn a lot (although they can be patronising and cocky at times).
Cons: The company especially the consulting branch expects you to work a lot of hours and there are people who camp out at project office which gives you quite a lot of peer pressure to dig in also. Since IBM has been getting quite a lot of difficult projects, it makes it hard for you not to stay with the team and work till you are too tired; practically sucks the life out of you.

The project manager are budget driven, and under this constraint which they give a high priority, people working under will have to be sacrificed. 

Resource mismanagement, using the wrong people at the wrong place. 

Junior people are taken for granted.
