Is your career progressing too quickly? IBM has the solution.
Pros: The people are pretty cool, workload is minimal, performance reviews are basically an exercise in copying and pasting, and you will probably be able to work remotely or have flexible hours.
Cons: Caveat: median salaries for everything are higher where I live.
Wages are completely uncompetitive -- other employers are paying 20-50% more for the same work. You need to be "compliant" with whatever meaningless metric the executives are freaking out about this month. Career opportunities are slim to none. You get micromanaged by someone in another country who has no clue what your particular customers want or need. Everything from the aforementioned executive gets filtered through 5 layers of middle-management (think telephone game).
