Pros

Great work-life balance. The IBM culture respects personal and family priorities.

Hard work and good jobs will be recognized.

Cons

Internal transfer is not as easy as it should be.

Your visibility depends on your manager's relative power among his/her peers. IBM evaluates employees' performance relative to all employees in a larger organization. Your relative contribution depends on how well your manager promotes you.

Advice to Management

Announce layoffs when there is a layoff. The term "resource action" is more demoralizing than layoff.
