Great people, poor overall corporate direction
Pros: I've worked here for over 15 years, and my co-workers are top-notch. I've had about 10 managers, I would say 4 were great, 4 very good, and none 'bad'.
Cons: Cost-cutting measures to cut people with experience, and replace with low-cost non-experienced contractors to save a dime, has cost IBM millions. It slows our response to clients in so many ways, and our quotes need to be checked 18 times for accuracy. Changes to our processes and people happen so often, never really sure what the 'right' way is, or who to ask. Many of our key internal tools are ancient, and IBM will not invest any money to update or improve them. Our business laptops are old and slow.
