are you getting a better benefit package? does IBM match dollar for dollar in your 401k??? now would be a good time to find out about that...what is your new medical, dental, life, holistic, massage meal plan?? being with a corporate giant like IBM should offer strong salary increases per quarter as some believe only once per year. do you get better days off?? does your petty cash get larger? did you even have petty cash b4?? will nt be blocked off your new companies ip?? will BIG DADDY BE WATCHING YOU??? remmember what happend to MX_OnD as an example...dont be posting here every 11 seconds...IBM sounds BIG!!! old school tough boys...
good luck!!!

epill, you just made my head spin. i have all those answers and will probably still be working from home mostly, so some doesnt apply. the benfits look great so far, but wont know for sure until it kicks in. what happened to MX_OnD?

mx was called into his bosses office and was to sit down surrounded by all the benefactors of the company, the financial advisors and the cheif financial officer where he was shown a stack of 11Feet tall double sided A4 paper of every post he made here in the PVN. it was the funniest thing i ever heard ever happen!!!!!
he works for a large corporate giant just like you do...now at least...so watch out!!!!
BIG DADDY IS WATCHING U!

Raises hand. I work for IBM as a visual designer. Welcome aboard.
It looks like your company got acquired by the Tivoli division, I work in the DB2, WebSphere, and Rational(kinda) pillars. Working here is a logistics nightmare, most of my job is project managament and beurocracy, very little time to design. But I do know that fun jobs are out there, sometimes mine is too. The benefits are some of the best in the industry and make it hard to leave. Not the worst job I've ever had.
