Pros

IBM brand (perceived to have value) Bright, hard-working co-workers Access to learning resources Flexibility to work at home

Cons

Continual rounds of layoffs in the U.S. Low morale, increasing workloads, and minimal rewards. Management can't be trusted. Poor execution of product development.

Advice to Management

Realize that when the great Canadian folk singer sang the line "with smiling bastards lying to you everywhere you go" in the ballad Mary Ellen Carter, he perfectly described Sam Palmisano and cronies.
