Pros

Good place to cut your teeth in IT, unlimited education if you seek it out, good place to network, good name for resume. Good benefits(vacation, health, work-life) for young to mid-career professionals

Cons

Top Mgmt and lower mgmt are off track w/ each other. Say they promote from within but have hired a lot of outside professionals. Once Inside Sales, hard to move to other organizations.

Pros

I naively thought there would be the prestige of working for Big Blue... boy was I in for a surprise.

Cons

It's just not "your father's IBM" anymore. Found that IBM really means: "I'm By Myself." Managers seemed to enjoy being abusive to the people who reported to them. While theoretically selling a collaboration product, the spirit of working together & collaborating was crushed on a daily & consistent basis by the managers.

Pros

IBM can do anything a client wants, and as a Client Rep, I had the opportunity to build a solution for almost every business initiative my customers had. Many very smart people. Excellent ongoing product and sales training.

Cons

Too big. Too many sellers looking for that grand slam and not interested in working the smaller deals in SMB. Hard to move out of the call center and into the field sales environment. 1st line and 2nd line mgt had trouble setting quotas
