Not to be snarky or anything, but a legitimate question: what does IBM actually do? I used to work for a partnering engineering team at <big_corp> and met with dozens of enterprise clients (think Fortune 100) and I never heard anybody ever mention any IBM products. I am really intrigued to understand what keeps this company afloat. My main hypothesis is selling to government and acting more as a holding of acquired companies than anything else.
They have 260k employees, for what?
