Procurement Engineering - Mechanical & Electrical sub assembies to main frame systems
Pros: IBM pays very well and they have an average benefit program.  The vacation benefit is very good.  They have flexible schedules for most positions.
Cons: IBM states that they are remaining in the hardware business.  History would indicate that this is not true.  Initially they sold Storage to Hitachi.  Then they sold the Desk Top/Lap Top business to Lenovo.  They are currently in the process of selling Low End Servers to Lenovo and laying off a good portion of their Mid Size Main Frame Server employees.  Anyone accepting a job at IBM in the US hardware business should plan on a short duration at IBM.
