      IBM buys growth instead of growing.

      Pros

      IBM has a lot of neat products, exciting innovators, and fantastic teams. We get to be on the bleeding edge of innovation every day. Things evolve quickly, and the pace is exhiliarting. We have many wonderful benefits options, 401k, discounted stock, pension, lots of days off, and many team outings. It's very family friendly, and management encourages us to get personally involved in our communities.

      Cons

      Bureacracy, red-tape. Inability to change. Pay. Our commissions system is completely messed up. It's embarassing how wrong our data is. We spend as much time adhering to process as we do to actually selling to customers.

      A horrendous place for white males over 40 to work.

      Pros

      It is a good place for young people to start a career and get good training as long as there is a plan to leave the business within 5 or 6 years. Employees in the sales and marketing professions can gain significant good contacts to move into other businesses as they grow their skills.

      Cons

      IBM discriminates against white males, and in particular, those over 40 years old. It is clearly a supporter of reverse discrimination. All diversity groups are protected and nurtured except white males over 40. It's a disgrace and causes many roles to be filled with people of lesser skills in order to minimize the role of white males in the workplace.

      He embodies the characteristics I want in a CEO: strong ethics, integrity, and focus to win.

      Pros

      work life balance is excellent. I can take time off whenever I need and get good recognition. It has very entrepreneurial spirit so I can make solutions and am very free to pursue activities I think will help generate the most revenue. Management in my case is very hands off and allows me to do what I want.

      Cons

      lack of support from senior management to do my job. No access to hardware resources. I'm always scrounging to get resources to do my job. There is no good direction, but this can be a good thing because I'm free to make my own decisions.
