Don't Work Here - Run If You Can
Pros: Used to be a great place to work, but comparing with other IT companies, IBM stands solidly in the middle of the pack.
Cons: - Expense controls are out of control
- The company is all about the next quarter profits
- Senior management has two stories to tell:
1.  To Wall Street Analysts - IBM's 2009 profits were the best in the company's history and we are on track to better last year's
2. To Employees - We have to maintain vigilant cost controls due to the current economic situation
- Employee's morale is low or non-existent.  The only reason people are not rushing out the door because there are no jobs out there and IBM management knows it.  So they continue to turn the cranks...
- It's a depressing place to work
