Meh
Pros: Perks, IBM Brand, Resources to get the jobs done and marketing support.
Cons: Negotiate hard in regards to salary, or it will NOT go up. Maybe 2% to 4% per year and that is a maybe. Do not go in with an attitude, "do it and if I am wrong, I will get my hand slapped later," because people will get fired for that. Extremely rigid. Very high pressured and very management top heavy. Huge websphere presents in the management chain, so they push transactional sales and not solution selling. As a result, no room for developing territory. They continually change and move territory every year. Commission plan, you will not get paid until you hit 55% of your target and the draw you get if you choose to get it is very low.
