Restructuring, for better or worse
Pros: IBM is such a huge company that there are many opportunities available. Chances are, if you end up in a position you don't like, you can transfer to a different position although it's much easier if you transfer within a division. Of course there are many opportunities here to work on stuff that really matters in society. The company's restructuring efforts may finally be paying off this year.
Cons: Since the company is so large, sometimes it's difficult to turn the ship around. Change is happening, but slowly. Some of the tools we have to use only make the job more difficult. It's easy to be lured in to a job or physical geography with no growth, as some locations are only downsizing.
