Purge of Thousands of Employees 40 and over
Pros: Good Benefits, recognized brand, looks great on the resume.
Cons: IBM Lost its competitive edge -- outdated hardware, bloated software, business consulting arm challenged to differentiate in the marketplace. Buying IBM products and services used to be a safe bet: due to IBM's experience, size and quality would guarantee a project's outcome. Not anymore. The culture and morale has suffered a lot by shedding experienced and dedicated workers.
