Pros

Large customer accounts offer enterprise-level systems experience and a variety of problems to work on. Other teams nearby offer the potential for information sharing. Good food in the cafeteria. Parking lots are well lit at night.

Cons

IBM Global Services is motivated to take on as many large, outsourced support contracts but provide the cheapest support possible. Constant staff cuts and uncertainty of future work, despite outsourced accounts justifying the need for staff and elevated levels of support. Managers sometimes change frequently with little notice. Supported customers don't realize the diminutive staffs that are supporting their accounts and demand high levels of service.

Pros

IBM is a good place to get your foot in the door and once you realize they are trying to stick you where the sun doesn't shine then come to terms and leave the joint.

Cons

In the division that I worked in downtown Tulsa, Business Consulting Services, management was extremely unoraganized, training was unheard of, and anyone you needed to contact for help was located in India and didn't know how to speak good English. Everything is micro-managed right down to the time you sit at your desk to the time you go on break. The yearly bonus was a joke and so was the pen & pencil set I received during the Christmas holiday. All of my overtime and extra effort put forth in many projects went unrecognized.
