Pros

Somewhat flexible, other than that, nothing else.

Cons

It's hard to get motivated with subpar compensation. People are worried about outsourcing, and morale is low.

Advice to Management

Just make IBMers comfortable. Many of us do not care about a salary increase; we know it is not possible. Just don't mess up again trying to make a particular quarter look good by making another "strange" decision, such as increasing outsourcing for that particular quarter.

What management doesn't realize is that in the long term, you've messed up that product, and some products are generating good revenue.
