Pros

Potentially huge impact from your work, on a global scale. Good overall compensation (at least it used to be; I don't know about new hires). Great internal productivity tools for engineers to work on code and collaborate on design & planning.

Cons
  • Decreasing morale, from layoffs & scandals
  • Growing distrust of top management
  • Growing lack of accountability & transparency of top management
  • Growing lack of focus of the company
  • Growing lack of clear ethics & moral sense, e.g. in AI, geo-politics, working with military
Advice to Management

It's time to change the top leadership, steer back to the "don't be evil" spirit, or become IBM 2.0.
