Pros: More strategic design time than implementation.
Cons: Slow management decisions; ineffective cross-department communication.

Growth Requires Travel, Market Struggles
IT Solutions Architect • Current Employee
Victoria, British Columbia, Canada
December 7, 2016
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.
