Valued Talent = Business Results
Pros: IBM is shaping the future with Watson and it makes one proud to be part of this. With the expertise on data and analytics, employees' tools are starting to embody this expertise. Career Progression is available for all by easy accessibility to mentors and vast trainings on the important skills today such as leadership, project management, design thinking and agile (and many more).  Diversity and Inclusion is the heart of the company as it believes that differences encourage bold ideas. It believes that everybody should be proud of who they are. HR highly engages its employees by encouraging idea-building to improve policies and programs. Performance management, for example, is now no longer numeral. It now focuses on feedback and continuous improvement which was ideated from its employees. IBM listens.
Cons: Today's working environment, in any company for that matter,  encourages employees to remain highly competitive with their skills. This encourages employees to continuously improve and align their skills to the constantly changing demands of the work place. If an individual could not keep up to such high performance, one may not have an easy journey but know leaders are always there to guide and support.
