Overall rating: 1/5
Employment status: former

Technology alone does not create value for customers.
Pros: Software divisions across big data, analytics, Watson, etc. -- lots of component technology.
Inhouse consulting group with domain expertise that no other major integrator has in cloud architecture, financial services, healthcare, analytics, etc.
Massive cash to invest.
Cons: Focus on EPS benefits senior management's compensation, but clouds management's perceptions of what is required to compete against Amazon, Google, and startups.
Management doesn't get innovation and how to create an environment where individuals take ownership.
Stovepipes prevent communication and collaboration.  Comp plans actually incentivize groups NOT to cooperate.  
Rounds of layoffs have lead to demotivation, and lack of CEO communications leads to more FUD.
