IBM is a solid corporation, and thus be prepared for very demanding multicultural politics
No matter your position, you will learn a lot about many independent software suites and applications you likely have not been exposed to.
Also, you will have many chances to network with many new people internationally for other possibilities if you leave IBM, or would like a transfer within the company.
Corporate politics can get dicey too quickly, usually fueled by a select few. Some managers have been known to rush to judgment without consulting the engineer in question. This enthusiasm can easily lead to the valuable departure of a very good engineer from the company, far too easily.
Really listen to your staff. Avoid gossip, no matter how much you trust the source(s). In the event of a pressing issue, get all the necessary people involved for a peer discussion on how to make the team(s) or project work smoothly.
