Technical Solutions Manager • Former Employee

Pros: Work with some very bright and dedicated people.
Cons: IBM is a declining company with very few competitive offerings. People are nothing more than a resource. Be aware of RA (Resource Actions) targeted at older and more expensive, seasoned labor. The average work week was about 80 hours with little compensation for all the hours worked.
