Some very smart people. Lots of job flexibility. Wide range of areas to work in. Easy to transfer.
A lot of managers and layers of management.
A lot of project politics.
Processes/policies get in the way of doing real work.
Incompetents become movers (IBM).
Most processes and procedures seem to be rubber stamps or CYA's for IBM, instead of actually helping work get done efficiently or reasonably.
High power distance and the constant threat of off-shoring are not conducive to a productive environment.
