IBM is an overall great place to work, they tend to pay a little below average and they want you to partake in their company culture, but their benefits and flexible nature of the working hours more than makes up for it. Management is understanding and wants to see your growth within the company. To explore my thoughts and to gain more knowledge

Job security - there are so many projects. If you are on bench then don't worry if you have skills.

Dislikes

There is nothing like annual/yearly appraisal. You can be on same package for 4 years no matter how hard you work. They will only point out for "out of the box like independently developed some AI toll or equivalent to it" thing and at this point you will loose the battle. If you are okay to get yearly 1-2% hike on overall package then only you should join
