Pros

Stress level is low Job is what you make it to be

Cons

Management is totally detached, most times is ignorant to technical issues and will follow the loudest voice in the room even if it is totally wrong There is no standard or commonality of how promotions are given, someone putting in good quality engineering work for 10 years might be surpassed by someone on the 'fast track' with only 2 to 3 years experience

Pros

IBM is in the cutting edge of rolling out technology solutions to meet business challenges. Whatever IBM comes out with like eBusiness, Information on Demand, Websphere, etc. is copied by the competition, but IBM is always ahead of the game. The level of technical competence is high in the right pockets, which ensures that they could always execute with the right people on the team as members or SMEs.

Cons

There is an incredible amount of overhead between the people who do the work and the level of associate partners, partners, regional managers, practice leads, practice managers, industry leads, industry VPs, competency VP, etc in the Services area. I would generate about $385,000-$555,000 every year in consulting revenue for the company, but my bonuses and raises were a joke for the kind of contribution I made to the company. The overhead in Services must be addressed.
