No sales so people pinched
Pros: training, investment in technical job families, and broad product portfolio creates an ever-changing list of career opportunities.  IBM's move to the Cloud points to a possible future beyond the mainframe.
Cons: Poor sales attainment means completely unattainable comp plans due to jacked-up quota targets.  Whether Sales or Sales Engineering, words like "Target Incentive" are a punch line.  No one expects to make, much less over-achieve targets in IBM.
