A great company facing a long road back
Pros: Ginni Rometty, IBM's current CEO is focusing on the right things and driving much needed change.  Her focus,  "being essential to our clients", is precisely on target.   IBM employs many of the best and brightest scientists, executives, engineers, developers, technologists,  sales people and managers in the industry.  IBM has stayed current with the work force needs, offering excellent benefits and a challenging work environment with excellent opportunities for advancement and broad experience.
Cons: Overly matrixed and overlapping management structures shield mediocre contributors from accountability and frequently allow those who are productive to be lost in "blind" resource actions.   Unreasonable expectations and insufficient support structures impede the efforts for those who want to contribute, want to be accountable, and want to be proud of the organization they represent.
