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

Pros

Lots to offer if you produce and know how to work the machine, good experience to see how a company this large manages to move with the market.

Cons

Internal processes can be brutal. offshoring internal processes to "centers of excellence" can be brutal. how do you like 60-hour work weeks, phone calls around the clock.
