Program Manager at Performance Marketing
Pros: Hired as a college grad and promoted within year and half. Great place to learn about marketing platforms, systems and tools all in one place within IBM. Great work like balance, and you get credit for your achievements. I work in the design studio in NY. Agile and lead methods are prized.
Cons: Pay isn't good for the work that we do. 

Working for corporate marketing also comes with the baggage of enabling 4000 marketers around the world for the innovation created at headquarters. Innovation is great but deployment is slow. Even innovation within corporate can't keep up with the smaller firms in the space in marketing technology. However, I accept IBM is doing a great job in trying to keep up. I do say our leadership is putting a lot of pride in becoming a world class marketing analytics organization.
