things I wish I knew before I started at IBM
Pros: I'm proud of my company.  I love working from home.  Some of what I do is interesting.
Cons: Lots of management minutia.  The managers are people manager, not Technical Managers.  Don't look to them to lead in a technical way.

They are getting cheap -- first they don't pay for phone, then internet, then cut mileage payments.  They got tough on meal allowances on the road.  Finally, they stop paying commission.

You will never know how much you are going to be paid.

They want me to be a demo jock and not really a technical applications engineer.
