Pros

They do a great job of taking care of you.

Mostly a laid-back workplace. Not super stressful. Not usually working long hours. Super flexible about remote work and hours when needed.

Cons

Too big for their own good. The separation of decision makers and doers makes any practical decisions next to impossible. IBM doesn't invent things anymore. They just react and buy other people's work. No one has the guts to be truly innovative because executives only care about the numbers on their yearly report.

Advice to Management

Management needs to have more guts and take risks. Not just worry about immediate dollars. Think about the long term.
