Pros

I was part of Software Lab. The lab provides you with a good salary, great work-life balance, and you have access to all sorts of the latest and greatest technologies and resources within the organization. If you have the potential and willingness, then everything is there in the organization to help you achieve what you want to achieve.

Cons

Very bulky organization. At times, decision-making is very slow. Things are improving, but there is still ample scope.

Advice to Management

Management should look to improve decision-making speed. There is ample scope across the chain, from development to management, to get rid of at least 30 percent of employees without impacting IBM's growth, or at least to conduct performance measurements strictly and replace the bottom 10 to 20 percent with more agile and worthy talent.

Many people across the chain are working in the organization because it provides work-from-home (so-called work-life balance) and no pressure at all.
