      No respect over C-plan pensions. IBM youngsters, I fear you're next to be attacked.

      Pros

      Currently, the brand image is trading high.

      Cons

      Pensions have been attacked in a most vicious and calculating way in the UK. If the senior exec managemtn team is allowed to get away with this attack on 50+ year olds then they can get away with a subsequent attack on the youngsters that are contributing to a different pension scheme. Brendon Riley has shunned the very people that re-built this company in the 90's by telling them that the final salary pension scheme that formed a part of their compensation package is to close and the penalties for early retirement from april 2010 onwards will be punitive. In my lifetime I would have to work an extra 6 years to make up for this cold calculated attack on my trust.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      None...Used to be a great company to work for but not any longer.

      Cons

      Pay raises of 1% or 2% every few years drives newer employees away. Unfortunately the respect for the individual that was IBM's creed has vanished. Used to be the Flagship company to work for however now just another large multinational that most new hires stay on for 5 years and then move on.

      great people but not enough focus by management on the long term

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      the people - dedicated and hard working the world over; focus was on the task at hand, not self serving posturing

      Cons

      fragmented leadership - conflicting directions rather than focused efforts, decision-makers looked to be more interested in an immediate result rather than a proper mix of immediate and long term.
