Get rid of dead weight
Pros: Stability. The main reason to work for IBM is stability. IBM is less likely to be affected as much as other companies to swings in the job market.
Cons: You do not join IBM Software Group because you are a risk taker. This is a place for the risk adverse and it shows within the company. Many within IBM plateau. They do enough to take a paycheck but nothing more. They are not fired up to make the company grow and succeed. It is a place to hide but still take home a decent paycheck.
