Pros

Was on many teams and for the most part, they all enabled you to get the job done. Only one account with mostly outsourced resourced did not embrace the IBM way of doing things.

Cons

Head count reductions don't make sense. Even one star performers are listed. No resources to cover, or foreign resources who cannot tell the difference between hardware or software because they do not have an IT background.

Pros

Very strong corporate culture. Depth and breadth of human and information resources. One of the strongest brands in the world.

Cons

Constantly changing organization structure. Limited opportunity for growth into executive ranks. Marketing is viewed as a support function to Product Management. Regional marketing teams too closely aligned to Sales rather than worldwide Marketing teams.

Pros

Easy interview process for those straight from college...salary is decent for a entry level position

Cons

Raises are miniscule and bonuses are almost non existent. Travel is said to be 50% but is really 100% or whatever the client prefers. If you cannot learn on the job, it will be rough because the training provided does not help you once on client site.
