Pros

Products are fantastic Most of the people are great, competent, skilled Flexible schedule Work from home

Cons

IBM is taking over Management no longer cares about their people - they are cutting costs (to meet shareholder pressure) by making working there unbearable (so not laying off per say), but there are no salary increases, everything is scrutinized People are just numbers now that need to be reduced Morale is at an all time low Trust issues with management

- Good team culture and work-life balance if you have the right management chain - Remote work if you're not close to an office - Leadership transparency and willingness to hear feedback

Cons

- Constant re-orgs without strategy are destabilizing - Manager pool is very mixed in terms of experience and skill - Poor role definition can lead to surprises at quarterly review time - Layoffs/reductions have had a chilling effect - Lower salaries compared to competitors
