Pros

I work with smart and passionate people, doing excellent work in an agile environment. A fun product (Watson Explorer), with opportunities for fun integration with Watson's deeper research efforts. IBM is surprisingly willing to consider new things and adapt our local practices for the larger Watson group.

Cons

Large corporate sites and systems are sometimes a drag. It goes with the company size, I think. Lots of corporate emails and enticements to spend lots of time doing IBM promotion, internal culture-building, etc. I understand the impulse, but it's distracting.

Advice to Management

Do more of what the Watson Explorer, Engine, and greater Watson team do.
