SWG TechSales - the ivory tower
Pros: great technology, like working with customers, pay is still OK. As a knowledge worker, I can ignore some of more negative things.
I have a good manager who shields from some of the negativities
possibility to make a technical carreer; you can show a certain ammount of leadership without switching into a management role.
There are great people at IBM
Cons: many internal processes are a joke; organization wants everyone to become a sales person, does not account different personality types; managers rising up the career path become corrupted; lots of reporting, when management feels helpless.
Cost reduction instead of investing in people
buerocratic career system
