IBM Research is great, but IBM corporate is not what it used to be
Pros: Peers at IBM Research are technically able and treat you with respect. Low-level managers are often very good.
Cons: Corporate management too slow in responding to technical change and unable to lead company for organic growth and are choking profits out of the company instead of feeding the right areas for growth. Corporate mgmt and HR office put short term profits and goals ahead of respect for employees.
