The breadth of experience and quality of people in research overshadowed any negatives
Pros: During my time at IBM I was able to work with some of the smartest and most passionate people in the industry.  IBM commands and audience even when they don't have a market position with their products.  I was at the table with CEO's, CIO's, Industry leaders and even heads of state.
Cons: There were several areas within IBM that focused on sales and operational metrics that were not accurate.   Several divisions in IBM we so focused on their numbers that they forgot how to provide a real solution that could be implemented without engaging an Non-IBM services partner.
