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.

Pros

location, colleagues, free coffee, having IBM on your resume. Previously Friday lunch, but that has even been rationed out as of late.

Cons

-They promise you the world before you walk in the door, yet very few actually reap the rewards. This is due to over saturation of the sales team and shrinking territories, but most importantly the favoritism that exists throughout the entire executive team. - Favoritism is based not on who has worked hard and closed business, yet whom they anoint as their 'Chosen Ones'. -MDM is a luxury technology, and the sales cycles for even the smallest, most transactional deals, are drawn out sometimes 12+ months - Unless you are a very select, unjustly chosen few, you are responsible for self sourcing 100% of your opportunities and prospects. This is something they do not properly convey to potential candidates in the interview process, and thus most reps are bitter by their 3rd or 4th month at the company. - Ethics do not exist on the sales team.

Pros

Free pizza on Fridays! Great office location in the heart of Center City. Used to be a nice place to work.

Cons

Horrible pay. Unless you are one of the favorites you won't make jack squat. I lost more deals than I closed because of Fiberlink's aggressive 'aproach offering discounts similar to that of a used-car dealership. No career path. Just make calls.
