Pros

IBM ownership offers more job security, but comes loaded with many more down sides. Team culture is strong, probably through all the shared adversity that's involved in the day to day role.

Cons

Poor pay, no sales career progression, management are liars and cheats, commission is completely arbitrary, and favouritism is rife. R&D and customer service is severely underfunded and resourced. Very "take the money and run" or "bait and switch" attitude in every department all the way to the top.

Pros

It's IBM, technically. Fiberlink was bought by IBM in 2013. The sad thing is though that the acquisition isn't 100% complete so the company culture isn't that of IBM (so I've heard).

Cons

Where to start? This place was a hot mess from beginning to end. They sell you a bag of goods during the interview process and then flip a 180 when you start the job. It's crap. Their turnover is so high so I'm not the only one. Unless you know you are a sales person and a good one, don't take this job. This is not the place to "learn". You won't make much money and will risk being shown the door quickly.
