Still Trying to Find My Place (part of a recent acquisition)
Pros: IBM employees I have met so far are very helpful and reasonably enthusiastic.  I have reasons for hope. The acquisition process was not smooth. IBM didn't focus enough of presenting a clear plan and didn't step in to fill the void left by lack of care about employees by the senior management of the company that was acquired.
Cons: Way too much bureaucracy. I worked for another fortune 500 tech company in the past. There were 4-5 levels of management. IBM seems to have an endless supply of executives, most of them from acquisitions.
