Sales
Pros: IBM is a large company with a number of horizontal opportunities.  Acquire a mentor and you can move around and be protected.
Cons: IBM is a product based company and the sales force is secondary.  Territories are changed frequently regardless of customer relationships.  Revenue is the basis for all decisions.  Your experience will depend on your manager, some good, some bad.  There is a culture of protection among the management team.
