Pros

Great place to be part of innovation and get to know microarchitecture at the processor level. This is possible because IBM has Z (s390x) and PowerPC64.

Cons

People managers in India are clueless on how to groom their teams. Each team member has differing abilities; they need to be respected and acted upon accordingly.

Advice to Management

Engineers cannot do it all: meet business requirements, work on publishing papers, and file a patent.
