      A good place to start. You may need to jump ship to make big $$$.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Home office. Varied projects. Pizza gift card one Christmas. Boss says "go home early" at end of day before holiday. Boss buys drinks and dinner for team 2 to 4 times a year. Flexible hours. Usually no one looking over your shoulder. Once a month team meetings.

      Cons

      Spread out across the globe. Each person for themselves. Technically incompetant leaders. Can't understand heavy accent fast talking Indians. Lacking networked architecture before software solutions are expected. Holiday party consisted of a meeting on the phone. No preliminary meetings to prepare and unite as a team for in house customer service visits.

      IBM is a good place to work if you are driven to chart your own career path.

      Pros

      Plenty of room for professional growth if you are a driven person who will seek out the many opportunities within the company. Flexible management that allows you to chart your career path. Great benefits package. Pretty good work life balance such as "unlimited sick days" (Granted you work from home for some of those days to maintain your utilization goals).

      Cons

      As a consultant working at the client site it you can feel isolated from the company because contact with other IBMers can be sparse.
