Pros

lots oof job opportunties and chanes to move around the company, strong market leadership, and respect, access to all CIOs and most CEOs, very collaborative environment. tremendous company ethics, highest values and strong expectations for performance and leadership. great benefits, strong 401K , stock option program, employee stock program, educational assistance for advanced degrees.most sales and consulting employees work from home

Cons

big, vast resources - takes time to network but collaborative tools and on line communities make it much easier. expense controls are very tight and automated systems monitor all spending and budgets. due to matrix environment, and spread out resources, employees spend a tremdouns amount of time on conference calls

Pros

Education oportunities, though not at every corner, are there - you just need to be willing to learn the skills that are "hot." Also, your career at IBM is in your hands; it's what you make of it. If you want to be mediocre, that's your choice, but you don't have to be. It's all about what you put into it. Pay varies - it is all about what you make of yourself.

Cons

Travel, but that's consulting, not IBM. The way in which promotions, etc. are handled is unusual - but it keeps it as consistent as possible across a company of nearly 400k people.

At IBM I was Implementation Project Manager for IBM’s SAP General Ledger – NA Deployment, as well SAP Security Analyst on IBM’s initial security structure for its NA Integrated Supply Chain. In addition, I have worked on several large, complex, enterprise wide projects in over 15 years of IT assignment. Some highlights are as follows: • Project Managed NC Department of Transportation initial installation of SAP GRC • Implemented Security Roles for IBM’s initial deployment of SAP NA Integrated Supply Chain - developed initial Segregation of Duties • 10 years with IBM’s Financial Systems group • Diverse background working assignments in SAP IT Security, Financial Systems, Order Fulfillment and Business Transformation • PMI Certified Project Management Professional (PMP), with a Masters Certificate in Project Management from George Washington University.
