My 21 years at IBM
Pros: You really work with very smart people, best of class
Extensive portfolio of business solutions
Multicultural exposure and international experience
Can create your own path and re-design your career as needed
Edge technology in some areas
If you know how to navigate the network you will always will find the top resource for every solution
Commitment to clients and stock holders.
Cons: It is strategically ran by CFOs and a huge bunch of bureaucrats that never had client or field experience.
Too many old guys that already made millions trying to apply changes to adapt to new time.
Too fragmented in different P&Ls that focus on their own mini-results affecting the whole.
Senior Leadership is not accountable at all for their multi-year lame results and continue cashing bonus, while asking for accountability down and limiting truly organizational change.
Ethics of firing people while cashing big bonuses at the top because of bad results.
Disparity of salary structures.
Lost focus on employees.
