IBM Software Developer reviews

Stagnant advancement, poor communication with management, older workforce. have been here for less than a year and have received very little feedback and very little contact with management. Opportunity to grow and move up seems to be very difficult because people tend to stay around for a long time. There was very little growth which also limited career advancement. The work force average age is rather high and people seem to be set in their ways of doing things rather being inovative. Instead of looking for new ways to approcah problems they stick to what they know.

Dealing with globalization may not be easy. Teams that coordinates with offshore teams often work long, strange hours. You might be expected to attend meetings (online, at home ok) as early as 7am or as late as 10pm. More agile than a company of similar size is still big. Product cycle is slow and very process oriented. Things don't get done as simple and as fast as they should. Maybe folks there are pretty set in their own ways. Not the most innovative crowd. Don't be stuck in a group that is not performing. Bottom line counts a lot.
