People go to IBM Australia to die not to thrive
Pros: You can hide and run your own sideline business because no one will manage you.

They force you to take leave at the end of the year . At least you get to spend time with the family.

Heaps of on line training. You will be ready for the next gig
Cons: Classic example of Class B people managers hiring Class C Managers. And in turn kill off morale and innovative thinking.

Australia is too small for anyone in the head office to pay attention.  

If you are a seller, its cadence after cadence. And when you have an opportunity, every Tom , Richard and Harry wants their name on the opportunity as well.

The Sales Directors and Managers are made up of people who never sell before. I am deadly serious.  They use retired IBM sales people who has not sold to a Business for over 10 years. 

Managers who continuously fail to deliver are moved sideways or get promoted to Singapore or to other APAC countries.
