Fast paced decline!

Pros

The workers are good people. They put their heads down and work whatever hours that are required.

Cons

Culture has deteriorated significantly along with the company's business. We are seriously over burdened with processes, bloated with "leadership" and over priced for the market. We cannot get out of our own way! We have a 2 in 10 win ratio; maybe 30% in certain market segments and it shows in our revenues. Today the leadership is more interested in "inclusion and diversity" and other political hot potatoes vs focused on our customers. This company is more interested in a persons gender and skin color vs the experience, skills and education a person brings to the table. IBM is imploding and the board of directors will do nothing about it. Our current CEO is one of the highest paid tech CEO's and has presided over the 2nd largest decline of this company in history! When you look at our revenue loss since 2011 to today combined with the value of the dollar, the company is down almost 40%. Say what you will but the numbers do not lie and with a $33M CEO salary, IBM has paid dearly to be destroyed!

Pros

Great and very fair company. Legacy of hundreds of years of innovation and market leadership. Highest patent filed year over years in last thirty plus years

Cons

Top heavy. Slave of process.... always late to react. Missed opportunities to capture the marked in cloud, analytic. Hope cognitive pays rich dividend. Current culture in IBM is more you are away from client more authority you have and more money you make. Most business leaders in IBM spent more time in convincing internal CFO and COO than serving clients.
