"Have worked with IBM for the past 10 years and I am very thankful for the opportunity to be part of a great organization. During this time I was exposed to state of the art products and practices serving critical environments for major clients. Developed long lasting relations with capable coo-workers in various disciplines producing valuable solutions. Had good feedback from all my managers and Project Managers during all this time. I do recommend IBM for a career opportunity and a place to grow."

"IBM = Indian Built Machines."

What do you like about working at IBM?

"Ability to work from home. The trust of using laptops that can be connected anywhere in the world."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"You must sweat it out to be a true IBMer... people coming in as a contractor or coming in from a company that was bought out by IBM are considered less than desirable."

What don't you like about working at IBM?

"Their performance review system. They use it as a risk factor when wanting to downsize. Some department managers play favoritism to the female and gay/lesbian personnel. Management does not allow their workers to give ideas on how to make the department run better. Does not want to listen to problems and does not know how to handle stressful situations."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Allow bi-directional communication of employee suggestions on how to run the company. Don't follow the crowd and fire people in NA to be replaced by workers in India. The ratio of losing jobs to India is 3:1."
