Pros

I think the best thing in IBM Research is the manpower. I've been working there for almost 8 years, and it has been a genuine pleasure. The work environment is usually very calm and, most of the time, very collaborative. You don't get the feeling that you are all alone and unsure of what to do.

Cons

Being a contractor employee. There is nowhere to advance.

Advice to Management

We need much more support in Linux. You need to provide better support for GCC on PowerPC (basically, in terms of capabilities, GCC is nowhere close to being as fast on Linux as Xlc is for AIX).

I think they are making a mistake with PowerPC. It's a great processor, but it's not common enough.
