Got the Big Blues
Pros: It has a good brand name. The pay was decent, initially.
Cons: Projects are routinely undersold. Employees are placed in roles unsuitable for their career or skillset. Executive Management is out of touch with the day-to-day realities of running the company. There is a bureaucracy that only the government or the USSR can match. Despite management trumpeting efforts via the media on how IBM runs efficiently, the real story is often a far cry from what the media reports. It was only at IBM where I heard the acronym FUMU used - "Foul up, move up".
