IBM Research at Almaden is both a fascinating and frustrating environment and job.
Pros: Great colleagues. Lots of flexibility. Opportunity to do work that is transformational.
Cons: Unclear priorities from upper management. Is it business or scientific impact?  Evaluation system still very academic and very little acknowledgement of collaborative effort. Human science disciplines still not very much respected.
