Account Manager, Field Sales
Pros: Proud to say you work for "Big Blue." Feels like a sense of career accomplishment. Well established company with a long history.
Cons: Too many Chiefs & Indians. Expect to have a 1:1 conversation with a customer you can forget it. So many different departments all wanting to get their fingers in your account or opportunity. Legacy IBMrs have a sense of entitlement when in actuality they should be made to retire. Their "old school" way of thinking is what has them following AWS. Lotus Notes (IBM owned) for email, give me a break. Doesn't integrate with Salesforce but then, IBM uses its own CRM, SalesConnect which is terrible. Let's just say I was proud to work there but the name doesn't live up to the hype.
