      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Gain a good understanding of the industry and the trends that are shaping it. Good place to gain some experience ie resume building. Good people work for IBM. Support you when you want to get additional education/training. Can change careers without leaving the company. Very stable jobs, if competent you will keep your job. Telecommuting is well established and encouraged if job will allow.

      Cons

      Limited ability to advance beyond lower level management positions. Pay is below average. Decision making is slow and tedious process. No reward for risk taking. Can't innovate due to environment with risk adverse management.

      Use caution but it's not too bad

      Managing consultant

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Lot's of room to move around if you have to but with the lack of communication at times, it's hard to tell if you "need" to move. Issues that directly affect your position are kept really close to the vest until after the fact. This makes deciding what to do prior to the "event" very hard to prepare for.

      Cons

      You get lost in the shuffle and support for needed equipment is often denied or forgotten. It often takes several attempts to even get an up or down verdict. This is a VERY large ship and does not turn quickly. If you have a lot of patience, then this might work for you.
