Pros

When they acquired us, they grandfathered our PTO accrual from the former company, which was better than what most IBM employees accrued.

Leaving.

Cons

There were rumors of a mandatory employee attrition percentage, and the evaluation process made that believable. My manager told me senior management was requiring her to cut one employee, and I drew the short straw.

Morale was poor.

Lots of wasteful meetings.

Advice to Management

Be more honest. Be leaders and not paper pushers. Think of employees as humans, not as corporate assets.
