Growth Requires Travel, Market Struggles

Pros: Lots of opportunity for learning and growth if you are willing to travel and take on challenges. Canadian market opportunities are definitely centered in the east, and career growth is focused in those areas (unless you are an executive).
Cons: Undergoing a major transformation towards a technology suite, putting a lot of emphasis on the Watson and C(Cloud), A(Analytics), M(Mobile), S(Social), and S(Security) space.
Some traction in the marketplace, but usually with large clients. IBM rates are pricing them out of most public sector opportunities.

Good, but not a lot of room for advancement

Pros: The people I worked with were smart and professional.
I learned a lot and enjoyed my time there.
There was a lot of camaraderie and collaboration.
Cons: Their review process seemed okay, but didn't really mean anything. It's all numbers at IBM, and if there isn't a budget for what you are doing, it doesn't matter how well you do.
IBM is moving their support services offshore, which will decline their service in that area.
Felt like a number in the end.
Pay was as low as the market you were in would bear, and raises were few and far between.
