IBM Software Developer reviews

At least in my organization, there are few impediments to working from home, where I tend to get more work done during busy periods than I do at the office. (However, I'm discouraged from working at home more than twice a week. Managers have told me that, because of a lack of office space, there are people who patrol our work areas, on the watch for absences of over two days and supposedly eager to transfer unused spaces to other people.) Also, you can show your appreciation for people who have helped you out by giving them a Thanks! award. This award allows those people to choose a gift from an internal site. Although the items all have "IBM" sewn, etched, embossed, or whatnot on them, some of them are useful. Finally, my health insurance served me very well recently. My service provider paid out large claims promptly and never second-guessed the opinions of my doctors. I can't say more about that without the risk of identifying myself.

Compared to other tech companies ibm is relatively stable and the chances of getting laid of are smaller. ibm is fairly flexible about work hours and working from home, however this depends a lot on your manager. Benefits are ok. In general if you work hard, you will be rewarded. smart engineers. stock is still doing good considering the tough econmic times
