Interesting, IBM itself celebrated its centenary when I was there in 2011 or early 2012.
We got a cupcake, some badges and some sort of stock grant - the company would do something like put aside $1k worth of stock at 2011 prices for each employee, and anyone who was there 10 years later would actually receive the shares.
I'm not aware of a single person who received that grant because the development lab I worked in back then got shut down a few years after I had moved on. And looking at the stock price movements in that time, $1600 bucks is not a lot for ten years loyalty!
