Pros

Working from home, 401K match, medical.

Cons

Lots of rules and restrictions.

Silo mentality for job roles and responsibilities.

Can be frustrating for someone who is used to and enjoys wearing many hats in their job function.

It takes forever to get a decision made.

Feels like 70's management style.

Advice to Management

The IBM way is not always the best way. Take a step back after acquiring a company and try to understand what made it successful. A little culture change can go a long way for a large company.
