Pros

Working from home. A ten-second commute. It allows for a very flexible schedule and contributes to a more fulfilling lifestyle.

IBMers are still a very dedicated bunch.

Cons

Working from home. I never met in person any of the people I worked with in my last stint at IBM. It required quite a bit of extra effort to maintain effective communication. I was very surprised at the dedication of IBMers, regardless of somewhat tenuous business environments.

Advice to Management

Revert back to the days when employees were treated as real people and not simply as a resource (like a piece of furniture).

Make a conscious effort to change corporate culture to long-term goals versus quarterly stock price.
