Pros

In some cases, the pay may be higher than at other companies. There are a lot of great people to work with who have been duped by IBM's past reputation.

Cons

You won't be rewarded for your work.

Advancement is very political.

The company is rudderless.

Pay and bonuses have decreased each year for employees, while executives take home more.

Advice to Management

Walk the walk, not just talk the talk.

The board needs to bring in executives who are competent in running a large company in order to turn the company around.

The appraisal system needs to be scrapped, and the original basic beliefs need to be reinstated.
