IBM was once the place to work, but now its just a stressful environment
Pros: Early year  promotions were great  along with the bump of salary.
Ability to move within divisions  to develop new skills was great .
Time off program is great .
Salary for education level is great.
Cons: Was proud to be an IBM until yearly layoffs occurred. 
Need balance of workers between  US and abroad  
increase the retirement health benefits so older employees is retire and make room for younger ones 
Currently employed  young workers are frustrated due to long periods between raises and promotion opportunities 
Movement opportunities are open to some employees and not others. 
Specialize skill knowledge in one area is not good thing to have. Need to be a good multi-tasker.
