Pros: The people are wonderful, bright and professional.  First Line Managers in my experience are superb.
Cons: Quarterly layoffs since IBM hasn't hit Wall Street earnings for 22 straight quarters.  There is no job security here.  Quotas have been set so high the sales force isn't earning any commissions in comparison to past years; this is a way of cost savings.  IBM is a depressing place to work when you know regardless of your effort they will blow you out eventually.  IBM no longer hires seasoned professionals - they only hire young people under 30, again as a way of cost savings via salary.  In GTS if you close a deal it has to go to a War Room internally to see if they have the internal resources to execute.  Nobody is happy here.  Ginni the CEO is the worst and high level management simply doesn't care - they just protect their piece of the pie while the ongoing layoffs continue.
