IBM Austria = Racist

Pros

I can’t think of any pros.

Cons

Very racist culture. They hardly hire anyone that isn’t white. Working there was an internal struggle for me everyday. I’ve never felt that I belonged and was scrutinized by my colleagues on a daily basis. I was once shamed for dying my hair blonde. A coworker fly out told me that she hates people that try to look like her. Most recruits are related to an IBM employee. All internships are filled by children or sibling of full time employees. That’s not right, give others a chance too.

Pros

- international company, many "good" coworkers, room to learn new things

Cons

- 1st line management does not care much about employees; senior execs look just at stock valuation; continuous layoff threats (resource action); hardware business uncertain how to continue ---> strategy ? New acquisitions don't work well outside of USA. - Initiatives at personel level are ususally turned down - in European countries, IBM just tries to fulfill minimum legal and tax requirements
