Diverse Projects, Legacy Tech

4.0
No CEO Opinion
Pros

Lots of interesting products and projects of various flavors, so an employee need never be bored.

There is also sufficient cross-mobility across teams.

Cons

Many of the products and technologies are "legacy" and not sexy. Working on those has a downside in that you end up being non-marketable. Also, STG is conservative and risk-averse.

Advice to Management

Keep employees happy by giving them the opportunity to innovate, not just execute on a tired old plan. Transfer more technology from IBM Research.
