Working at IBM in Tucson, AZ: 18 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Tucson, AZ Area

"IBM is a good place to work which has very flexible working environment."

"I've worked at IBM for a little over a year; it's a good work place, but at the same time, after a while, drains you if you are looking for constant challenges."

"I worked for IBM for 14 years. What used to be a good company to work for, started to decline roughly 5 years ago, and has accelerated since then. Focus on the stock returns, with no focus on keeping or developing employees has resulted in a working environment with a lot of confusion, and very poor morale."

"I have worked for IBM for over 20 years. They are one of the best companies in the world to work for."

"I have been with IBM since 2011. While it may be the workplace for some it is not fitting towards the environment that I wish to be in. Their learning resources are very limited due to the age gap of employees. Well seasoned employees retire before completing the training of new employees which leads to inadequate skill levels. The technology is very old and out dated, and as a developer you do not feel like you are contributing since the components are so separate from each other."

"The IBM branch I worked with is going down the toilet."
