Getting rid of retirement Eligible Employees
Pros: Decent  salary and benefits compared to other available jobs in the area are the only reasons I can think of that might justify working at IBM nowadays.
Cons: IBM has lost all respect for it's employees.  After working there for almost 36 years and always getting reviews ranging from "always  far exceeds requirements"  to "always exceeds requirements"  I was suddenly told I was underperforming and was let go!  It just so happens that there were 3 of us doing the job and I was the one with the most years (translation "highest paid").   It's just all about the bottom line now- no more concern for the employees at all!
