Pros

employee stock purchase; range of experiences via feet into the fire approach; looks good on a resume and sounds good in an interview

Cons

IBM Business Consulting was fractured, and peppered throughout with disengaged management. Most project co-workers were all of the same mindset: we're all only cogs and will be the next to go. What a terrible way to run a business - and what a terrible environment in which to work.

Pros

Amazingly smart people! If you have a chance to work with IBM Research - take it ! Fantastic organization. IBM'ers are wicked smart and very professional. IBM really gets behind clients if they are hired. Great job experience for Band 7, 8 and 9's ( younger less experienced resources) but plan an exit strategy.

Cons

1. IBM is very hard to do business with as far as clients are concerned ( from a contracting perspective as they expect everyone to bend to their Ts&Cs, 2). Sales teams are cutthroat and will run you over for deal credit - make sure if you get involved in a "deal" that you have in writing what our "cut" is up front - sometimes even that won't matter and 3) make your sales target EVERY YEAR or you will be fired immediately. No "performance improvement plan" - just good bye and so long.
