Pros

Pleasant working conditions, managers, and fellow employees.

Cons

Continuous downsizing. No longer the old IBM where layoffs were virtually nonexistent. Regular employees might not have a job when the project is finished; they are only given a limited time to find an internal job.

IBM uses "supplemental temp employees" with lower pay as replacement for contract employees. Regular employees, like secretaries, could be transferred to an outside contractor and no longer be IBM employees at any time. They could be put in an IBM secretarial pool with multiple bosses and jobs.

Advice to Management

All my managers were really good.
