Business outlook
Pros
Was once a place to be proud of, with a great leader. Now comprised of used car salesman mentality leadership from little start-up BladeLogic. Fired or removed all managers and sales reps who understand complex customer relationship sales in favor of "buddies" from aggressive point sales backgrounds.
Cons
Benefits and pay continue to decline while the management style is now one of fear. Not a good way to retain top employees, which is why they're all leaving and going to CA and HP (who are actually experiencing sales growth). Don't let the skewed Wallstreet numbers fool you. The mainframe business continues to shield the company from the real numbers.
