Pros

There is still some feeling of teamwork among certain practice groups. It is possible to get good experience because you are working so closely on solving client's problems. This experience comes on the back of the client and has your mgmt may have very little to add.

Cons

Lots of travel to client site to stay in horrible IBM selected hotels. Once you are on-site on the client you may have two spend your days working with the client and your evenings talking to IBM India. Lots of staffing challenges trying to find competent technology folks in India. Overall, a very difficult place to work.

Pros

If you are strong performer you will be compensated and recognition will come your way. If the job you want is not there, you have the ability to create it. Incredible flexibility in work hours.

Cons

Sometimes slow to get executive attentions, but once it starts be prepared to work non stop until its resolved.

Pros

The overall product line is second to none - overall. Easy to get an appointment and to have the customer to listen to you. You have the ability to sell all products as a generalist or specific products as a specialists. Specialization can be in hardware (Servers, storage, etc.) and in software (middleware, such as data management and business intelligence, web servers, application development, systems management and security) and services (IT services that are hardware or software centric; or business servcies, such as consulting, systems integration, application management, systems outsourcing, business process transformation or business process outsourcing). There are other more detailed specializations.

Cons

Pay is not as good as it is with competing firms.
