Summit Program: World-Class Sales Training
Pros: The world-renowned sales training that you get during the Summit Program far exceeds other top companies.  There is a mix of executive speakers, classroom sales training, abundant live sales training with experienced IBM sellers, technology training, and professional advice that really prepares you for a career in professional consultative sales.

Beyond just the training, there is a great opportunity to network with peers in the Summit program as well as IBMers outside of the program.  The networking is a huge benefit from a personal friendship and a professional standpoint.  Much of the training takes place in cities around the country, so there is an opportunity to work remotely.

I have only been in the Summit Program for a few months, but I am already very impressed.  I know multiple IBMers that have graduated from the Summit Program and have been very successful.  I am proud to be part of this great program and great company.
Cons: IBM is a large company, which has its advantages/disadvantages.  One disadvantage is that there is plenty of administrative work that has to be done, but that is common with many professional roles.
