Pros

The opportunity to work for such a global company. IBM sets the pace in many technology sectors. Skills learned here are in high demand outside of IBM. As a software engineer, I got to work on the latest and greatest web technologies and got a job really quickly after leaving IBM. I was able to rotate around to different software brands, building a good portfolio of knowledge of software offerings, from development to application software.

Cons

the BIG in Big Blue. Sometimes I feel kind of distant. Most of HR is taken care of in a central place, e.g., Raleigh, NC. Also, most people are very good at what they do, making promotions kind of hard to attain.

Advice to Management

Meet with us more! Between me and the CEO, there were 7 management levels. My 3rd line manager had a VP title.

VP, VP, SVP, GM, EVP....
