Good pay, but a volatile role. Lack of job security
Good pay, but a volatile role. Lack of job security
Great pay. Company pays for certs and supports growth. Great footprint with the work being conducted. Big clients make you feel good about the service they provide for the world.
If a project runs out, your job might run out as well.
The company likes to acquire and dismantle products, which leads to massive layoffs. The "spin off" can be successful, but PR won't report what happens to the product and employees after they leave IBM.
If the work runs out and you're a good employee, they will move you (IBM = I've Been Moved).
But jumping product to product for 10 years can make you feel like you're just working backlogs and setting out fires.
