IBM in the Mid-Hudson Valley:  Endless Opportunities To Learn
Pros: As a career technical professional and leader at IBM in Poughkeepsie, NY, what I love the most about the company is that it gives you endless opportunities to learn from brilliant people all around you. For example, in development, you can be amazed by the innovation that comes from our design thinking approach and get a perspective of our clients as sponsor users. In test, you can be impressed by the broad set of skills that allow the team to push our stack in a variety of ways. Now that I'm leading a support organization as VP, IBM Z Support and Linux Client Care, what astonishes me is the level of passion and skills I have seen over and over again in just my first 6 months on the job, to allow our clients to get the most out of the IBM Z platform. Support makes it real -- I worked directly with clients before and heard a ton about why they trusted IBM to run their business, but in support you see it up close each and every day. This team is really something special.
Cons: None, although you do need to like winter to live in Poughkeepsie, NY.
