IBM Summit Program reviews

There are some amazing pros to this job. The first is of course the effectiveness of training. Over 6 months, you will visit cities all across the country so that IBM can help to infuse over 100 years of experience into your training. This includes seminars, mock meetings, intensive training, shadowing, testing, mentoring, and much more. This training prepares you well for what you will face in a career at IBM or anywhere else. It provides you with a wide breadth and depth of knowledge over sales, technology, and people skills. Summits are well respected and looked at as if we hold the future, which we may. We are looked upon with admiration from our leaders, which is an amazing feeling. There is also a very close relationship with your peers. As you train with the same group for 6 months, you become very close. The summit managers are some of the most amazing people that I have had the pleasure of working with.

Summit is life changing! Throughout the 6-9 months of training, people are taken from being recent graduates with little experience to young sales professionals ready to sell for Big Blue. In the program, you learn how to not only be an effective sales person, but you also learn about how to engage with C-level execs. The salary is outstanding and the company is focused on investing in you through education. Managers are fantastic and truly care about enabling you to succeed. There is some travel involved. Lastly, the best part about Summit is that you are put with 30-40 people your age that you stay with throughout the program. This is not only great for networking, but it's absolutely crucial to building the culture and your experience at IBM. Some of the people in my group have become my best friends.
