The increasing lack of employee appreciation has caused my enthusiasm to wane.
Pros: For the most part, IBM employees are exceptional; bright, driven, hard working, conscientious, productive.
Cons: In the years that I have been with IBM, it has gone from a company that seemingly valued its employees to a company that only values its bottom line.  IBM no longer provides money for continued education, no longer provides work-from-home employees with necessities such as printers, monitors, keyboards, etc.  Raises are minimal and do not meet cost of living increases.  Bonuses have shrunk over the years to being nearly non-existent.  Employees work together for years and never meet their fellow department members or managers.  There are several resource actions every year and the employees who remain are expected to pick up the resulting unassigned work load.
