Pros

There was a lot of opportunity for learning new technologies in my group, plus the added resources provided by IBM.

Cons

IBM bought our small startup and then dismembered it. The continual layoffs over 10 years were a moral killer.

Advice to Management

Quit moving jobs offshore. I suppose that helped the morale of offshore employees but not employees located in the US.
