Pros

Truly flexible working in many roles – work from home, variety of locations.

Great people – friendly, most people willing to help.

Good variety of roles to move to. You can move from one business line to another fairly easily.

Cons

Too many sticks, not enough carrots.

Process sometimes restricts doing 'the right thing' to the detriment of everyone.

Mobile working is great, but it is harder to team effectively, and that can sometimes be isolating.

Advice to Management

Remember that it is the people that make IBM great – and return the focus onto motivating, rewarding, and developing them. There is too much focus on reducing expenses, leading to a demotivated workforce.
