Mixed Experience
Pros: IBM feels like a lot of small companies, that is good when you want to move around, as you can  have a lot of experiences in different positions, domains, locations and working with a lot of individuals.
Cons: 1) The best talent tends to leave IBM in order to be more appreciated  (read "paid better"). Those remaining, especially second-line management exemplifies the Peter Principle  (promoted beyond their level of competence).  2) The technical support infrastructure, software tools (laptops,Lotus Notes, ST), etc.are old and/or buggy technologies. Internal human support takes too long to address, that you spend hours searching the intranet for self-help, taking away from job productivity time and time again.
