Provides good opportunities to grow and explore
Pros: IBM has more smart people than any of the other firms I've worked.  Between IBM research, the consulting leadership, and relationships with most major companies, the opportunities are tremendous.  If you can remain client focused and leverage the team, it's great.  Politics can take over at times.  

Ginni Rometty is an outstanding CEO.  She has vision and is an outstanding communicator.
Cons: It's too big and the size gets in the way at times.  There's too much internal "competition" or overlap when addressing similar issues to the same clients.  

I think Ginni needs to move off of the 2015 vision, as the business assumptions 5 years ago have changed.   We need to focus on growth and sometimes that take investment
