Pros

The people are mostly wonderful to work with.

Cons

Executive Management has jettisoned the IBM core values in pursuit of their own stock-driven bonuses.

Annual layoffs are now the expected norm.

IBM is a follower, not a leader, as evidenced by acquisitions like RedHat.

The opportunity to have a successful IBM career in the US is history.

IBM primarily employs people in India and China.

Advice to Management

There is no evidence that the current business strategy is working for anyone but the executives who reward themselves.
