The MDC is pretty much a joke

Applications developer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

There is a lot of down time when you aren't on a project to do other things. Some projects offer good travel opportunities. IBM is now on your resume.

Cons

There is a lack of communication between managers and it makes it frustrating to get on a project. Deployment managers are clueless to who you are and what skills you have. You get thrown into projects where you don't have the skills or you are sold as a professional. They say 10% travel, but many projects are every week to client location for months. Salary is a joke to other jobs in the field, even in other IBM departments you get paid nearly 2X.
