Red Hat acquisition will not save IBM
Pros: Global projects provide incredible insight into company or client business processes
The employees hired by IBM are driven and motivated to deliver excellent results
The IBM brand opens many doors
Cons: Employees are valued less than any other company I have worked for.  I have worked for 5 companies in my 30 year career.  All the companies were Fortune 500.
Morale is very low.  My comment in the pros section is when an employee starts.  After the first project the employee basically understands that IBM would trade them for a dog if the dog could write code or architect a solution.
Watson is a myth.  It is not ready for prime time and IBM is marketing cognitive like there are not limits.  I'm sure someday IBM will market 'cognitive' toilet paper.
