IBM Armonk is filled with kleptocrats
Pros: Still a lot of great people are trying to do good work for their customers, their employees, and for IBM.  They're holding out for IBM to return to the type of leadership that made it great in the past. Some of the products are world-class and haven't been too damaged yet by the cycle of corner- and cost-cutting that's taken place since 2008.
Cons: IBM HQ in Armonk continues to focus on EPS and shareholder value to the exclusion of all else. Annual resource actions are a torpedo to innovation and morale. The only people with confidence in the leadership in Armonk are the sycophants in Armonk.
