Once Tech Great Continues Downslide
Pros: There are still advantages, IBM has fully bought into working from home, the groupware and productivity tools are plentiful and useful including mobile and the ability to use Mac products, dogfooding is prevalent so there's ample opportunity to try new products, there's a lot of focus on education.
Cons: IBM stock price continues to decline, and it appears management's solution is to continue aggressive layoffs.  I have worked on 5 different projects in the past two years, each was profitable, but aggressive global resourcing and resource actions led to insufficient and inexperienced support staff, which led to missed SLA's and caused the projects loose profitability.  20% overtime is expected.  IBM appears to be killing off areas of it's business that don't align with the overall vision, even if those areas are profitable.
