Stay away from the CIC
Pros: You will meet talented engineers if you get to work with those outside of the CIC

If your skills are lacking, for whatever reason, this is a good place to learn on your own and get where you need to go.
Cons: The salary is laughable compared to the national average.
Promotion is non existent
The CIC has a band cap so you won't get that far
The projects will set you up for failure because all of the technology is ancient
Management is basically lying to your face so you won't leave

You will have to have some serious connections to leave the CIC and get on IBM's real pay scale.
