Great company with dark future
Pros: In IBM, there are lots of great peoples to work with. The management team are nice and respectful. It is a great global company where you work with smart people from all over the world.
Cons: There is lack of clear strategic direction for the big blue. IBM has been “talking” about transformation, Watson, Cloud...etc for years. But in reality you don’t see a convincing plan, nor a solid execution. The measurements are too much financial focused, which resulted short-sight reactions. Employees are confused and lost. Morale is extremely low. Many ambitious people left. Many rounds of RAs. Too many layers of managers. Most of the managers/execs only good at manage up. The business is shrinking year to year.
