Pros

Very smart and professional employees, good compensation, good culture, and values.

Cons

Work-from-home policies are changing for the worse. The leadership direction is not clear. IBM tends to cut jobs without cutting projects, leaving those behind with more work and an unclear future. Constant restructuring does not seem to achieve much other than cause uncertainty and chaos.

Advice to Management

Make clear decisions and give them time to play out. Do not re-organize constantly and expect the business to operate normally.

Additionally, if jobs are cut, the business goals of the remaining employees must be adjusted. They cannot do the same work with fewer employees.
