It's what you make of it
Pros: The people are excellent (smart, deep industry and technical domain knowledge), extensive business relationships, always something new going on (acquisitions and R&D).      From a sales point of view, there are a lot of advantages like lots of resources (market intelligence, can get into any account, overlay sales/technical sales/product management willing to help).   From a technical point of view, access to R&D, development and some of the newest technology.    Health plan is excellent.... willing to even pay up to 75% for in-vitro fertilization.
Cons: People may find it tough to navigate, understand the organization and company and network with other IBMers.    So many products and initiatives makes it difficult for the company and teams to focus on.      Team is very distributed and international.    Need to be self starter and be motivated to develop own career.
