IBM needs to get back to being a leader with vision

Business Outlook

Pros

It's a job. If you don't have expectations beyond that, and are flexible to know that you might be out tomorrow.

Cons

Lipservice. Don't believe it, especially from senior management who think they're doing the right thing, but all they're doing is propping themselves up so they feel good as they look to retire.

diverse company. lots of product lines. global company. if one makes the effort there can be a lot of learning.

Cons

you better manage your own career. management does not care much about you. they just happened to do a good technical job and then got promoted. you are on your own. the sooner you realize the better it is.

Good company - while it lasts.

Business Outlook

Pros

An extraordinary level of flexibility in where/how you work in software development. Many IBMers work at home. This is great for allowing time to deal with the demands of life.

Cons

The pressure to perform and deliver is intense and consistent while the reward is 'having a job'. The flexibility (ability to work at home at any hour) also has the ability to morph into a strong negative depending on your managements expectations and people skills. You will be expected to work from home during the evenings/late night. You will be expected to work weekends when management deems it necessary. Management will send you email on the weekend and expect a response. Management will call you on the weekend to instruct you to work on a hot problem/defect.
