Pros

Well, it pays a salary in times of crisis.

Cons

Executives that lack touch and don't have ideas have to motivate; they can't only think about numbers and how to cut down costs.

Terrible performance review process. IBM will pick on any possible flaw you might have. You have the right to appeal, but the grievance process is a joke as it is run by managers who fully endorse the system.

Stealth operations run all the time to get rid of people.

Redundant processes and customer accounts run with spreadsheets. For an IT company, it is ironic that it can't even make good use of databases.

Null salary increases.

Double-faced managers who only take care of themselves.

Advice to Management

Grab yourselves some basic human resources books and read them to learn how to treat people with respect.
