Pros

Telecommuting

Flexible.

Internal recorded training resources.

Lots of mobile tools.

Has finally recognized the need for a corporate overhaul of vision.

Talented resources.

Cons

Non-USA staff preferred.

Benefits package is below expectations.

Severance packages are horrible.

Integration teams have little value to incoming staff/companies.

Unusual subcontracting practices (pro and con).

Very silo'd corporate environment, making it hard to take advantage of a large corporation's resources.

Poor execution on new cloud direction.

Behind the ball in cloud business.

Pay range/bonus not good, but reflective of business performance.

Advice to Management

Stability for USA staff would be nice.

Severance plans need improvement.

401k contributions by IBM should not be held to the end of the year.

Have more governance across organizations to ensure a better ability to navigate the corporation.

Let expertise hired in the cloud arena do what they are good at.

Stop getting rid of folks with skill sets matching corporate redirection.
