Lots of smart people working on a lot of hardware-related stuff
The company is dedicated to solving big problems and giving its employees the resources, time, and motivation to be creative and innovative.
There is a lot of incentive to work on tough problems that nobody has worked on before.
Projects can often get shelved without getting off the ground.
It's easy to work on projects that don't go anywhere.
There is a big focus on developing patent-able software, but there can be a lack of guidance in terms of what to work on.
It's tough to strike a balance between giving your employees freedom to innovate and making sure that they're contributing something useful. Try to let them know when their work might not be contributing to IBM's bottom line.
