Technical Support Team Lead
Pros: Employees have opportunity to network well internally, but are somewhat inbred from onset of employment and lose touch with the outside  business world.
Cons: A lot of dead weight shifted around from one dying account to another.  IBM is very afraid of law suits, so employees know they won't be removed for lack of performance, hence the system breeds mediocrity.  Middle and Upper management are focused on bonuses over account success, and contractors are heavily penalized with unscheduled, last-minute furloughs to help make quarterly returns to investors.   These are the same contractors that help make the accounts successful; they are treated quite badly.  Overall, a very dysfunctional organization.
