Treat employees with respect
Pros: Smart co-workers, some interesting projects, new technologies, IBM's leadership in the P-Tech program and mentoring opportunities
Cons: Years of poor results, layoffs and not valuing employees has resulted in a negative culture.  The environment is challenging as there is lack of trust and politics as people fight to keep their jobs.  There is a lack of respect for experience at IBM and many people are new/limited experience with a huge learning curve.   One of the main benefits of working at IBM was the work/life balance due to the flexibility to work from home.  That has now been taken away with co-location.  Even if you don't have to move, people have long commutes most days which adds to an already long and stressful workday.
