Not a bad place to work
It's a large company, so you can change jobs without missing a paycheck or losing your seniority. We produce innovative technology that is exciting to work on and gets used around the world. And there are a number of really outstanding people to work with. Most parts of IBM are also very supportive of having a life outside of work and are friendly to those of us with families.

Push more decisions lower down the reporting chain.
Empower your employees to make the decisions you hired them for.
Also, don't make bad long-term decisions in the name of quarterly numbers.
