Great place to start your career. Long term is questionable.
Pros: I started out in the IBM summit program as a technical specialist, and have progressed to a more full time sales position.

-High Quality initial enablement and sales training.
-The vast majority of people I've met/worked with are very talented, likeable, and helpful
-Great starting salary for a college kid coming straight out of undergrad.
-There's a lot of free (expensed by IBM) training/travel to cool locations like New york, Las Vegas, Dallas, and Raleigh,
Cons: -The technical sales training (for upcoming sales engineers) is virtually nonexistent, which leads to a very rough transition from the summit program to a more full time role.
-Many new hires will get stranded without a team or assignments for months on end. You will sit for weeks or months on end with maybe 10 hours of work to per week. So if you''re lazy it's  nice, but it's pretty terrible for career/skill building.
-The future of the company seems very questionable. There's a constant stream of layoffs, resource actions, and cost cutting measures. Most of my more senior colleagues don't seem to like working here at all, and appear to have settled for sticking around 

Ultimately though, the high starting salary, great initial training, and nice resume boost would make the job worth taking for anyone coming out of college. If you're more experienced, I would probably stay away.
