Global Services Consulting - SAP
Pros: Salary was competitive with the market. I was compensated well and the travel policy was at par with the industry.
Cons: Old thinking.  I arrived and realized that most of the MEN on the team were in their second or third careers.  There was not a lot of fresh thinking and it was very stale.  I also realized that 85% of the project team had been outsourced to contractors.  Of the 100+ people on the project there were ~15 people who were actual IBM employees.  The rest were 3rd party contractors who had nothing at stake for the organization.

Career Development was none existent.  Coming in from the "outside" meant that I had to try and learn the "IBM way" through trial and error.  There was no one there to guide or mentor me through.
