Pros

Work-life balance is okay; you can work from home as much as you want.

Cons

No direction, no communication from above. Constant threats of layoffs. No bonuses, even though CEOs get them when the company is doing terribly. No raises, poor compensation, and increasingly expensive benefits. Sneaky 401k match (end of year). Old processes, cumbersome meetings, and childish attempts to modernize to 'CLOUD' and new tech. Low-quality new hires.

Advice to Management

IBM needs major management change and needs to compensate its employees.
