Out of touch.
Pros: I worked for 8+ years in IBM's outsourcing business, and I marvel at the fact that the company even makes money at all.  Management is so far removed from day-to-day operations that they cannot direct the outcomes the business needs.  It is the worst possible choice for young people to develop a career.  It is best for the old, out-of-touch people that remain ... at least until they retire.  It is a disaster for investors.
Cons: They cut costs at every turn without regard for the consequences.  They do not invest in opportunities, but rather convince clients to pay for First Of A Kind (FOAK) products and services, then are surprised when it doesn't work and the clients are not happy.  What a joke.
