      IBM, A good learning ground, but not a place to stay for an entire career

      Account manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Excellent place to start your career and understand how to work in a large organization. Alot of opportunity to try different areas on the business

      Cons

      It's a very political organization, every year it seems the company takes a little bit away from employees. The compensation is below the industry average. IBM has a way of institutionalizing you to the IBM way, this can be dishearting for those the question the norm, eventually you have to make a decision on whether you can live without anything changing and becoming an IBMer or quit drinking the koolaid and find a new opportunity outside the company.

      Do not expect loyalty from IBM unless you are a consultant.

      Pros

      It will look good on your CV. You will hopefully meet some of the many excellent people that work there as technical consultants. When IBM gets it right, and the huge teams that they put in front of customers start working together, then the results can be awesome.

      Cons

      Not all people are treated equally - for example, sales people are generally treated with total disrespect, whereas consultants and holders of domain expertise are treated properly. When the client teams don't work together (more often than not) then you had better be in the stronger camp or you are toast. Expect to spend the best part of 30% of your time fighting your own organisation.
