My first job out of university was at IBM. I distinctly remember thinking "this is just like being a part of the Borg" about a month in. You're connected to the hive mind through Sametime (internal IM client). Anything you need is available in w3 (intranet). External ideas or processes are assimilated (rebrand, and usually made worst through IBM-ification). Drones are constantly indoctrinated in how good IBM is and the proud history of the company.
