Stuck in a cost center
Pros: IBM has a reputation of innovation.
Cons: The Lenexa site is small and you are at a small outpost away from a lot of action in the company. Support is considered a cost center. Due to this promotions and raises are few and far between. With IBM's finances as they are, even bonuses are now not a sure deal. Performance partly depends on feedback received from customer surveys and you can get poor feedback (without your fault) due to IBM product support policies.
