IBM Now Going Through Horrible Decline - Stay Away Unless You Like Pain
Pros: People on the software side below management are good, R&D capabilities are wonderful, Lots of roles, compensation is reasonable,
Cons: Long term declines in revenues, stock value, and brand strength, Shedding people by the thousands every 6 months to maintain profits, Targeting older people and expensive people, Selling off parts of the business, Enforced watching of inane training videos (Sometimes hundreds of hours per year), Offering pricing too high, Too little investment in solutions specific to industry issues, Administrative tasks required are onerous, Sales objectives are crazy, Services strategy of land-and-expand is ugly, Can't convert good R&D into viable offerings because of unrealistic expectations, Too many more to list...
