TAL's take
Solid tier-2 role with clear scope for a highly specialized mainframe domain, though the infrastructure services model limits the absolute caliber score compared to core product companies.
Very well-defined role for a niche mainframe system programming specialty with a clear set of responsibilities and required stack.
