Pros

The best perk is that there is flexible work time. The atmosphere is also generally good. One cubicle per developer. Working from home is available.

Cons

Top management does not value IBM employees. To raise stock price and dividends, there have been a lot of layoffs of software engineers. I'm afraid to say more so as not to lose my job.

Managers use very well-chosen words to tell you the absolute minimum that's necessary.

Benefits keep disappearing every year. Practically, there are no perks left to cut off right now.

Advice to Management

Think of the employees; they are your major asset. Think of the future, not just the financial quarter ahead. Have morality.
