Going downhill on the backs of employees to meet profit targets with declining revenues
Pros: Big IT Services, Computer & Software company.  IBM used to be one of the top ten companies to work for until doubling profits every five years became more important than investing in IBM employees.  They still allow employees to work from home in some jobs and that can be a real plus if you don't have to travel a lot.  They have some promising technologies if they can bring them to market cost effectively.
Cons: What haven't they taken away?  Pensions, Raises, Commission, work-life balance, no layoff policy, education matching program, lifetime medical coverage upon retirement opinion surveys...add that to ever increasing healthcare costs and some retirees forced to look at ObamaCare?
