Big Blue is Bureaucratic
Pros: Lots of bright people and some amazing technologies and solutions being developed.
Cons: An oppressive place where each year you're asked to do more with less.  Incredibly bureaucratic - like working for the federal government.

I always found the evaluation (personal business commitments) to be totally devoid of input by the employee - you "committed" to do whatever your boss directed you to, no matter how unrealistic it was.  

The other problem is that IBM continues to think its the 1980s and that it leads the tech industry in innovation.
