IBM

Very well respected in the industry.

Solid financial results allow freedom to do new things.

Almost universal work from home policy, which allows employees to spend time with family.

The work-from-home policy means that most teams are geographically dispersed. In some cases, you may never even meet your boss or coworkers in person.

Policy decisions are often made by the institution; no one stands behind them, so they cannot be challenged or discussed.

The power is all in management; the workers are just resources.

A yearly layoff policy trims thousands off the payroll silently and regularly. For example: Q) "Where's Joe?" A) "Didn't you hear? He left the company in the last Resource Action."

Listen to the technical experts more.

Make decisions openly and allow them to be discussed.

Make the Resource Actions more public and give the employees more control of their situation. The way it is now, the employees are always concerned they won't last through the year.
