IBM

The people I worked with day to day were very knowledgeable, communicative, and all-around good humans.

The social aspect of work culture is changing into a more modern situation.

Many free resources are available for learning and training.

Still a very top-heavy organization. Optics show that they're attempting flat management, but it would be a surprise if that attempt holds for more than six months from now.

The forever certain job cuts that will inevitably pull your number in the spring or fall of every year.

Promises of 'bonuses or raises' based on performance metrics are rarely kept and are somewhat kept in check by management directives.

Be true to your word and pay people when they have shown exceptional work. There are more than a handful who do.

Continue to work toward the flat management model and leverage your President's past to make this company even better.

I enjoyed my time at IBM, except for looking over my shoulder constantly because of the always impending layoffs, and this probably isn't the first time you've read something like this.

President and CEO are new to their positions and appear to put in a ton of thought and want innovative ideas. They should, otherwise, that ship could start sinking.
