Pros

Pay is good for the area, and job security is good. Benefits are also good.

It is a stable job which is interesting, but not a career.

Cons

Excess management layers (empire building) despite current performance of IBM.

Antiquated EO program limits opportunities for non-minorities and non-women.

No opportunity for advancement.

Hired to do a job and then career is managed.

Executive management of the corporation is weak.

Opportunities for advancement are not universally available.

Advice to Management

Give opportunities to those who are most qualified. Reduce redundant management and eliminate empire building.
