Pros

Safe and steady.

Lots of different projects to work on.

Cons

Job cuts are quite common. If you are agile, you can avoid/survive job cuts, but you could still be unlucky.

Recently became very restrictive on allowed tools and software. Lots of changes to key software and applications, creating a lot of extra work and overhead, affecting productivity and output.

Salary and bonuses are not quite up to many competitors' levels.

Many changes of strategy over a short space of time. Feels like one dumb idea after another sometimes. Forced to use OCP even though no customers seem to want it.

Advice to Management

Please listen to your tech people and remember that IBM is supposed to be about Business Machines, which means to me technology and engineering, not sales and marketing spin.
