Pros

The only reason I can think of working for IBM is the work/life balance. But the company is keeping layoff people and outsourcing jobs. So the workload is getting heavier every day.

Cons

Low salary and worst benefits in the industry.

Very political work environment.

No career opportunities at all.

Old technologies, not used in the world outside.

The only way to boost company profit is to lay off and outsource.

Advice to Management

Treat your employees nicely and don't think of them as slaves or costs.
