Great people, interesting work, low loyalty to staff
Pros: Fantastic people to work with on very interesting tasks. Large enough for you to choose a career change without company change, weathers country and global recessions well
Cons: Lost it sense of being a large family; Staff no longer feeling proud of working for IBM. Focus of the board is fully on shareholder returns and not on staff; despite the fact the largest asset IBM has is the experience and passion of its staff. Employees essentially have become the equivalent of worker drones who are not developed or brought on unless have the right longstanding personal network with a sponsor, though with the unwritten 2 year role cycle any sponsor can quickly disappear
