Pros

World-wide scope. Great respect for skill and competence. Oodles of opportunities. Lots of emphasis on fairness in the corporate culture. Flexible working arrangements.

Cons

In the last 10 years or so, the company has outsourced many jobs to low-wage markets. I suppose it's good if you are an IBM shareholder, but it has been terrible if you are an employee in the US, Canada, Europe, Japan, or Australia.

Advice to Management

Stop convincing yourselves that you can't do certain things or that you can't succeed in certain markets. Take more chances.
