Pros

Everyone I have met is top notch and on their game. Exceptional training. Exceptional tools. Exceptional Support The best thing about IBM is the Depth and Breadth of skills

Cons

NONE The worst thing about IBM is the Depth and Breadth of skills. You can get yourself lost in expertise sometimes but having all this knowledge to draw from is absolutely awesome and EVERYONE is ready to jump in and help, just waiting to be asked or to find a place to contribute.

Thank you for the 5-star feedback! It’s always great to see reviews like yours recognizing the company’s efforts to make IBM a great place to work. As yours and other reviews say, one of IBM’s pride is its culture of learning – whether through training, exploring with the latest tools, or working with the some of the brightest minds.

Pros

Good resume filler (that’s it)

Cons

Management so disconnected from the actual work, truly unbelievable. All they care about is hiring enough people. Placing people in rolls they are prepared for? Nope. Paying people what they are worth? Nope. Overall interest in the employees and their lives outside of work? Nope. When leaving, my manager told me I was making a “big mistake”. What kind of manager does that? All they would push is the hiring number they had to reach. That’s it, you don’t matter to them at all. The leader of the office once said “I sometimes forget you guys have families” to us employees at the company picnic. Awesome! Way to reassure me that this place is a terrible work environment. Terrible training plan, huge disconnect from “core” IBM. Embarrassing to even say I contributed to that office.

Pros

At the moment I don't see any

Cons

Every year the same excuse - the overall performance of the company wasn't so good, so expect low bonuses - after more than 5 years in the company never got more than 170€ of "bonuses" before taxes - pathetic! And then you read news and find out that our CEO got annual incentive payment of of $4m. We are a joke to this company, they must be laughing at us, that how can we still work for this company for such a wage.
