Technical Sales
Pros: I had an amazing manager, the environment truly embraces the help everyone out attitude.  Benefits and pay are within standard with the competition.
Cons: Management ontop of management, as with any large company IBM is slow to change direction.  Normally I would not list this as a con abut IBM is trying to be agile and "move the ship" in another direction.   In the sales roles you are "encouraged" to sale what meets the customers needs but in reality you will not be around long if you do since you need to hit the pavement hard on what you do get "paid for".   There is a balance here as with any sales role but long days and nights will be the sacrifice needed.  In sales don't expect any real CRM tool, generating leads will be tough as there is no prospect tools that are reliable.
