Working at IBM in Beaverton, OR: 9 Employee Reviews

IBM Employee

in Beaverton, OR

"The best thing about working at IBM is the wide variety of technologies I've been able to work on within the same company. While my primary expertise is in databases, I've also developed a web client and backend server, worked in file systems, Linux development, and storage solutions. All of this has given me the chance to gain experience in a variety of development areas. Key areas I have the most experience in are high availability, recovery, and clustering. I've also had many opportunities to hone my favorite professional hobby, automation. Many people see this as a necessary but boring and evil task but I think it's a great place to apply the same software engineering principles put into commercial products."
