Quite weird that it has not yet crashed and shut down
Pros: Working from home on Fridays (and sometimes other days as well)
Looks good on CV (although I have a very strong feeling that may be short lived)
Cons: No strategy at all - if the market has a tool called outlook, they build a replica called lotus notes, if the market has google analytics, they build tealeaf...they somehow always build tools that were around 5 years ago rather than tools to solve a current problem.

There is a lot of hype about small achievements. In fact some of the hype I would be ashamed to associate with. Example is an innovation award for someone who made the timesheet tool work on mobile. I can't believe they would win an innovation award in 2014. If it was 2004, I would have happily applauded.

IBM is a time bomb waiting to explode. Thankfully I got out before there were 400K people out there searching for jobs.
