Pros

Working at IBM is like a warm blanket. It feels good, and you are sure it is cold outside. The people are great, the environment is okay, and the projects are incredible.

Cons

There is a 20-word minimum. I would like to put "Bureaucracy" 20 times. It is a massive company that tries to make one-size-fits-all policies, which gets in the way of recognition for some.

Advice to Management

Let managers manage, or just transparently use an algorithm. Trying to explain why things happen is impossible.
