Pros

Worldwide presence. Part of virtually every IT business. Lots of good people.

Cons

Severe budget cuts and layoffs to support a $20 per share earnings goal. Good talent leaving. Too many executives whose main purpose in life is polishing the bottoms of there superiors and defending their turf. Policy of buying technology instead of developing it.
