Great place to build your career, but move on when you can
Pros: IBM is a great place to build your sales career.  Its large enough where you have the resources to get the help you need and can really push work off to other departments (marketing, brand, etc).  Education system is second to none.  Really gets you ramped up fast and invests in your education.
Cons: Very political.  Moving up can be easy, but there is really a wall at times.  Pay is not great.... seriously.  If you want to make money at IBM... leave. They also don't give proper raises.  1-2% is the average unless you change positions.  The endless paper work also gives you little time for sales and more time in giving forecasts and daily updates.
