Pros

I worked at IBM Research from 2020 - 21 (no such option in the dropdown) and it had a huge variance in team quality -- some have with smart and humble people who do good research and publish in top NLP conferences.

Cons

Other teams are absolutely crappy that don't do any research and are full of people who rely on nepotism to grow their and other's careers.
