IBM reviews

Toxic people, under no circumstances tell anyone anything personal including if you suffer with your mental health, as it will impact your career path. A gossip pit. Everyone out for themselves even though your part of a so called team. Poor management leads to bad moral. Most are numbers people and not people's people. A place where you can never switch off or be left alone by management if you fall ill. Massive culture shift within the centre and not for the best. They tip toe around with band increases and it's few and far between. 9 years there and I didn't get 1. Nothing exciting comes from the company anymore. It's lost it's spark. Avoid!

- management seems very disconnected from market needs/growth - certifications are pushed from management, however you will rarely get put on a project to utilize what you've learned. They are accolades for management. - consultant shop; management cares to staff projects, though not necessarily in your best interests - well underpaid; raises seem great but don't affect much being well under the national market's pay scale for software developers - confusing management structure that constantly changes - apprenticeship program is well-done in terms of the learning curriculum but not in experience - certain development practices are severely undervalued - no 401k match until 2 years of service
