Pros

There are many professional and helpful people in IBM. If you get on a good team, you can grow professionally.

Pay is competitive by industry standards.

Being a large company, there are many different things you can work on.

Cons

Bureaucracy

A difficult restructuring that is not going as well as hoped.

Pay becomes inflexible after a few years.

Advice to Management

It's good that you gave up obsessing with financial engineering and neglecting R&D.

Now you need to wake up to how the race to lowering costs is killing quality. Without upholding a reputation for quality, IBM is nothing.
