Overall rating: 5/5
Employment status: former
Experience level: Senior

Great Experience in Sales for 15 years - Software/USA.  Learned so much about selling solutions to customers.
Pros: Profitable company
Sets long term strategy that delivers profitable value
Strategy is usually dead on, very few mis-steps from business execution
Shedding low-value, low margin businesses, investing in high value, high profit segments
Cons: Big company - sometimes difficult to work thru various layers of mgmt. (But if you have the right mentor, an IBM'r can help you figure out the best path)
If you don't stay close to the customer's viewpoint, can become part of the bottleneck problem.
