Pros

There are not many, if any, good reasons to work for STG. The only good reason I can think of to work for STG is a steady paycheck for the short term.

Cons

There is no appreciation or respect for employees. Management is incompetent, and decisions, promotions, and raises are completely political in nature. It is not what you know or what you do; it's who you know. Upper management is too greedy with the distribution of wealth, leaving employees with only crumbs.

Advice to Management

Get more competent and become more ethical.

IBM has good potential; it is just severely mismanaged. There are a lot of inefficiencies in the company that waste a great deal of money.

Cutting out unnecessary layers of management and focusing on morale will take things a long way. Lower-level managers not only fail to enhance employee morale and productivity, they often impede progress with nonsensical behavior.
