You have to play the IBM game if yo uare to get anywhere here.
Pros: Depending on the role you are in, you have flexibility of hours and customer engagements where you can grow your skills and influence.
Cons: You have to play the IBM game if yo uare to get anywhere here. That means not only being good at what you do, but being that political animal and playing to the management galleries and all the metrics that you are measured by. You may have all the opportunities to excel at those metrics in the rols you are in, yet you will be measured by it! This I think is the bane aof a lot of big companies. They acquire companies by the dozen every year and depersonalize the new employees and pretty much break & rebuild those. Sometimes it works out well and not tother times.
