IBM

Opportunities to move around within a global organization (they actively encourage technical staff to consider moving to China, India, or Africa).

They encourage patent invention and intellectual IP.

They have lost their way. Senior management encourages a message of "client first." Yet they have slashed staffing to way beyond the ability to create, deliver, market, and train products of quality to their customers. Research and engineering employees who truly believe in doing a great job no longer have the ability to do so.

IBM is aggressively moving towards cloud/big data technologies but is trying to do so with little investment.

"Do more with less" is fine and sometimes a reality. But "do more with less" for years, with less benefits and no work-life balance, is not sustainable.

IBM employees want to do the right thing. They are hard-working, bright individuals with integrity and loyalty to their jobs.

The breaking point has been reached.

Slash and burn has taken too great a toll on products (that make money despite IBM) and the employees who work on them.

Invest in your people. Give them the ability to succeed.
