Not for everybody
Pros: - great work life balance
- Good base salary
Pros or cons depending on your point of view: 
- very academic environment 
- strong fundamental research focus and not much applied research
- focus on publications and not impact on products
Cons: - It is in constant transformation and transition. There is no stability; teams shuffle and research directions change all the time. 
- Benefits aren’t good. Compared to big tech players very bad.
- the location is quite remote. There is nothing around the campus. 
- the food is meh.
- Most people joined IBM right after college. So they don’t know how other tech companies work. They still work in 80s-90s work style.
