Pros

Many bright, hard-working colleagues.

Access to great technology, resources, and interesting projects.

IBM Global Campus.

Work-at-home options.

A great place to work 10 years ago.

Cons

IBM bureaucracy.

Constant threat of layoffs for the U.S. workforce is a morale sapper.

Work/life balance goes out the window trying to meet project deadlines.

Failing to pay for Internet access for work-at-home employees is bush league.

Despite their blather about IBM values, upper management doesn't value employees; only the bottom line.

Advice to Management

Keep doing what you're doing, and IBM will become the equivalent of a high-tech sweatshop.
