Forgotten Its Roots
Pros: It's a global company with massive scope for innovation.  The people are its greatest assets - sharp and smart, and dedicated to excellence.  With enormous influence in the field of technology, IBM is a leader in new discoveries, and ingenious ways of being productive in a crowded commerce.
Cons: Employing penny pinching, bureaucratic practices, and a culture of declining respect for its employees, IBM is no longer a champion of fostering intelligent risk-taking and encouraging initiative with its people.  

No longer is decision making considered a desirable art, it is now frowned upon as being irresponsible.  Almost all meaningful decisions are now made at the top, and downstream management has been relegated to order taking.

The employee is now viewed as a necessary nuisance instead of a valued asset which can be harnessed.
