Technical Architect
Pros: There were a lot of opportunities at IBM.  There broad range of products and services create ample opportunity to move in almost any direction desired.  BTW, I originally worked for Informix Software where I was Principal Technical Architect .  Informix was then acquired by IBM.  I left IBM back in 2002 -- the system doesn't allow for older entries; so I note that here.
Cons: I would say that aggressive people probably fit best at IBM.  I never felt that employees worked together and supported each other as I had experienced in other companies -- even though the model at that time was that of a matrix organization.  All-in-all, it seemed to me to be mostly  a very competitive environment.
