Pros

Great culture, great talent, very good work/life balance, and a great brand with some cool ideas. The company has many assets, but the most important of them is the people and the talent working there.

Cons

IBM has become a very unstable company. Their finances are not good. Too much bureaucracy and layoffs, even in "strategic" areas, just tell you how much the company cares for their talent.

Advice to Management

You're not doing enough, and most are disconnected from reality. They live in a world that doesn't exist anymore. IBM loves to complicate things; the more complicated, the better, and that doesn't work anymore.

Also, the Agile mentality is not true. You can see it in small and big things.
