Pros

Opportunities for learning and professional development. The company invests a lot developing their employees. Besides the formal training, during my years at IBM, I had the opportunity to interact and work with very competent and smart people. As long as you follow some ground rules and principles, there is a good deal of freedom to develop your work the way you think fit. Good vertical and horizontal communication. Salary and benefits are good comparing with similar companies

Cons

Too much pressure for results. A few bad/ incompetent managers.

Pros

Good structure, management very knowledgeable and supportive...When you need a company to through ressouces at an account opportunity, IBM us defiuntley able to do that. They have no problem in investing in the sales cycle and have the bodies to do it.

Cons

pay is very low, compared to the industry. You need a degree in Mathematics to figure out the compe plan, and they have recently changed the comp plan for senior sales managers to actually go against the sales culture. Very disatisfied with the compensation package. With the say the comp is structure now, I am sure that IBM will lose some of it's best people.
