Pros

IBM is large enough that employees can find a wide variety of challenges without switching companies, as long as they are lucky enough to keep their jobs through IBM's downsizing.

Cons

IBM seems to focus more on the bottom line and less on technical innovation and leadership. The workforce is shrinking as IBM slashes domestic resources while the workload continues to grow.

Advice to Management

Get back to the basics of technical innovation and leadership instead of focusing on the bottom line.
