It may sound crazy, but that's why I went with IBM'. "WheHTITI n TIT wa s i•n school1 1, TI dreade1 1 d1, th1 e though,1 t of working for some huge company where I'd be just another number," says IBM's Jim Hamil- ton. (Jim, who has a B.S. in Electrical Engineering, is a Systems Engineering Manager in Marketing.) "At the same time, I knew there were definite ad- vantages in working for a large firm. So as I interviewed each company, I checked into the degree of individuality I could expect there. "One of the main reasons I picked IBM was their decentral- ization. They've got over 300 locations throughout the country. Which to me means a big company with a small-company atmosphere." IBM's small team concept "Actually, there's plenty of decentralization even within each location. For instance, in science and engineering, they use a small team concept. It means, no matter how large the project, you work individually or as part of a small team—about four or five people. "In marketing, I was pretty much my own boss even before I became a manager. As a systems engineer, it's up to you to find the solution to a customer's problem, and then see it's carried out in the optimum way. You work with the customer every step of the way." There's a lot more to the IBM story than Jim has mentioned. For more information, visit your campus placement office or send an outline of your inter- ests and educational background to C. F.
