Experience level: Senior

Project Manager
Pros: Ability to work from home in certain positions.
Cons: You are no more than an insignificant cog and a commodity at IBM. IBM is totally focused on shareholders' value and invests very little in employees. Compensation is below average, however IBM goes to great lengths to produce "industry salary reports" to show how fairly employees are supposedly compensated. IBM Global Services goes after outsourcing contracts without having resources to fulfill the contract and without consideration of the actual effort that it takes. Sales team appears to be completely disconnected from the realities of providing a service under a contract. Salaried consultants are forced to bill 50-60 hours per week (if not billing at least that much, then performance reviews suffer and your job is on the line.)
