Not your father's IBM
Pros: - Flexible hours and work from home
- Good team.  Access to lots of experts
- Lots of tools (although some a little clunky)
- Get to work on new technology.  Always learning something new.
- Enjoyed most of my time working here, but things are changing...
Cons: - Dwindling US work force
- Hesitancy of management to challenge poor direction
- US employee is led to feel like liability rather than an asset
- Poor rating system.  Stellar performances can still receive average ratings based on nebulous criteria.  Analogy--A 98% can be an "A" or a "C" depending on who is sitting next to you.  
- Morale is in the tank.  
- The dogged focus on the 2015 Roadmap of $20 EPS is proving the downfall of this company.
