Pros

Good coworkers, especially those pre-acquisition.

My group makes cutting-edge products.

Lots of flexibility.

Managers generally seem to want to actually help.

Cons

Constantly slashing benefits.

Bonuses, raises, and promotions are more strongly tied to how IBM is doing than you or your group is doing.

Too many meetings.

Advice to Management

Invest in your employees.

Reward employees and groups that are doing well instead of punishing or rewarding everyone equally.
