IBM

There are a lot of smart people at IBM. Management is good, not great. It is a great place to be part of a successful team.

Lots of big company issues, including outsourcing and shutting down businesses that are profitable but not profitable enough.

You do not feel like anyone outside of your immediate colleagues cares about you.

Re-learn how to shift your talented workforce from your struggling businesses to your new, strategic businesses. Don't waste the talent that you have.

And don't assume that old dogs can't learn new tricks. And stop outsourcing with reckless abandon. Your long-term future is looking dim at this rate.
