Experience level: Confirmed

Great before IBM took it over.
Pros: Fellow account managers and support teams were great.  The Sales Engineers are people you want to know due to their knowledge and understanding of the software- in and out.  The perks were great and departments were run well until...IBM.
Cons: Then IBM takes over.  Layoffs, perks taken away, red tape, everything that comes with a Jabba the Hut like IBM.  People became numbers and the metrics took over actual selling and training.  When new upper management was brought in, those managers brought more incompetent mid level managers that lack any leadership qualities and experience in the software field.  No offers for help or advice for employees to grow.  SPSS account managers that had been there for 8+ years were passed over for senior positions so that newly hired upper and middle management can hire friends from old jobs.
