One of my friends quit IBM not too long ago. From the stories he's told me, it sounded like almost everyone there spends all of their time and energy blamimg others for failed projects and unhappy clients.

Exactly this. I don't know anyone in the IT industry that would willingly buy IBM. They're either locked in due to legacy reasons or government projects where most of them are incompetent.

Thankfully it's changing, but slowly.
