Big Blue is Hip and exciting
Pros: In 14 years I have had the ability to design a new career twist every year.  I keep on the cutting edge and have the opportunity to work in a socially collaborative global organization. I brought in big data and analytics skills, I got to apply them to small and  very large scale projects.  When digital came along I was an early adopter and evangelist.  Every new turn brings something new and challenging.  We are not the old Big Blue, we are enthusiastic about changing the world in new ways, and I have been delighted to be a part of it.  Where else would I work in a culture like this!
Cons: They are constantly reducing the workforce in North America and outsourcing to China, India, Romania and Latin America.  While this brings a global perspective it make you feel uneasy.  Great people have left because of the behaviors of building a globalized workforce.
