Pros

Worldwide presence.

Part of virtually every IT business.

Lots of good people.

Cons

Severe budget cuts and layoffs to support a $20 per share earnings goal. Good talent leaving. Too many executives whose main purpose in life is polishing the bottoms of their superiors and defending their turf. Policy of buying technology instead of developing it.

Advice to Management

You need another Gerstner. Sam and Ginny only know how to cut, not build.
