Pros

Awesome working culture and human relations. Open environment and trust between the employees.

Cons

Not a paymaster. Long-term existing employees will be out of market pay grade.

Advice to Management

Respect your long-term, existing employees. If they continue working with IBM, give them what they deserve. With just a little slowness in the market, don't throw them out just for some gains. Have some program to continue them, even if needed to have just 25% or 50% of the salary, but don't throw them out.
