A Place to Grow
Pros: When a company is 100+ Years Old, stability and reputation are an important part of it's DNA. At IBM, doing the right thing is a modus operandi, no tunges and no chicks.
At research, we are trying to implement "innovation that matters" and that is a good attitude in my view. The way it's executed, while FAR from perfect, still seems to be both effective and, well, innovative.
Cons: being 100+ Years Old, you do find it's difficult to make a change. being as big as it is, it's hardly even possible to make a difference at all, except on a rather limited scale. I think sometimes people hear you, understand you, agree, and nevertheless the olden ways remain and no change is made.
it's difficult sometimes to understand just who is doing what in such a hugh corporation!
