Pros

- Good benefits package - Recharge days that don't count against PTO - Some really great people to work, intelligent and kind

Cons

- The culture is definitely changing. It's not quite as open or collaborative. FUD is ruling the company at the moment. - It doesn't matter how much people deny, IBM is shifting the culture and priorities. An influx of IBM leadership into different areas has created a different feel and tone with company-wide meetings. - FUD means a lot of morale issues. Managers are being asked to sustain morale when our own morale is flagging. - We never had layoffs before, and it was never ever presented as a possibility. That is a massive shift in philosophy and has left many long-time associates feeling betrayed and angry.
