Pros

Salary is good, and the people are (mostly) great.

Cons

The churn and the lack of respect for the employee is becoming overwhelming. I'm not sure which direction they are going, but regardless of your skills and the need other departments have for them, once you're tagged as a resource, you cannot transfer!

Advice to Management

Your people are your livelihood. The morale continues to drop, and unless someone stops the six-month layoffs, leaving everyone behind to pick up the slack, the layoffs will be a part of an IBMer's yearly expectation. Why put in the extra effort if, regardless of your ranking, you get tagged?
