Pros

Newest technology, industry leader -- IBM was always "THE" company to go to work for. Best education, the brightest minds, and an admirable corporate culture.

Cons

Unfortunately, many of the "Pros" listed above are statements of their past.

No longer in the leadership position that defined the industry, IBM is now a company in search of its own identity.

Corporate management has traveled down the path of greed and ineptitude, followed by so many great companies in America, causing the slow but inevitable demise of this 100-year-old+ behemoth.

Advice to Management

Return to your successful past. Stop treating valuable employees as expenses that must be cut. To senior management: Stop treating IBM like your own personal bank account.
