Great people but Sam Palmisano destroyed a once great company
Pros: Great people. 
High level access to major clients. 
Brand recognition. 
Excellent company to have in your resume.
Cons: HR driven by penny savers - heritage of being run by a CPA for 10 years. Palmisano looked after his own pocket focusing on EPS and artificially raising the stock price so he could cash in after a pre-determined 10 year term. He killed IBM's soul, mortgaged the company future and left a huge mess for Ginni to fix. 

The 2015 roadmap is a ticking time bomb that will soon implode the foundation of this icon.

The company is currently bleeding talent and whoever is left is overworked, underpaid and under appreciated.
