Big Blue is still big. But not better.
Pros: Benefits on par with other large Fortune 500's. Training opportunities. Lots of enthusiasm from the younger employees starting out. Now Apple gadgets galore.
Cons: No idea how to sell services appropriately. Constantly being challenged by competitors for the same work, resulting in lower margins, higher travel requirements and mismatched resources. Bench time is severely penalized. So forget about taking advantage of the training opportunities unless you are making all of your numbers. It feels like a ship in decline.
