Pros

Honest work for honest pay

Cons

It's hard to be important in such a big company.

Advice to Management

It's probably impractical to hire creative minds in Silicon Valley because there are so many other places that can offer local, rather than national, compensation. This is a shame because IBM played a major role in this area being such an innovation center.

I think it is still true at the research level (Almaden), but I do not qualify for that. However, if you are looking for stability, I think that is still available at IBM.
