Pros

Lots of freedom, smart colleagues, respectful managers, excellent work-life balance.

Cons

IBM has lost its balance when it comes to managing finances versus people.

It seems now that the company is primarily driven to produce ever richer EPS and cares little about employee development, career growth, or morale.

Many of the best people are leaving or looking.

Advice to Management

Rebalance priorities.

Focus more on making customers happy, technical achievements, and developing your employees.

Focus less on plans based on specific EPS growth.
