Employee focus coming back...
Pros: There was a time before Ginni took over as CEO, for many years, there was no focus on employees. That focus is coming back. There is lot of emphasis on employee engagement, employee education and well being. Hope this trend will continue and would make a meaningful impact for employees.
Cons: IBM is no exception compared to other big companies. I believe, that's the curse of being part of Big company. You have to deal with politics, bureaucracy, competing priorities etc. Amazon/Google of the world will have the same challenges once they get to IBM's size.
