Working at IBM in Hopewell Junction, NY: 12 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Hopewell Junction, NY Area

"Good company to work for."

"I have worked for IBM for 15 yrs, I find it to be a great company to work for with strong leadership. I'm not overly pleased with the steps taken to reach roadmap and what is currently somewhat of a layoff happy culture."

"This review is for mainframe services at GTS, I have very positive experiences from other departments. All of the support roles are being offshored. Despite the company's promises during the time of hire, the company does not put any effort in maintaining their employees. There is no resources for training, very poor life-work balance and extremely poor employee morale. The people are more focused on keeping their jobs than working as a team. There is no upward mobility or pay increases."

"I have enjoyed my 20+ year career with IBM and found the work to be compelling."

"I have been with IBM for 24 years. It has been a great experience."

"Worked for IBM fresh out of college. The management team placed large amount of trust in my ability to deliver and provided me with large opportunity to improve, for which I am very thankful. However, due to the overall IT sector landscape, IBM is in a state of transition between business models, and my business unit is the target for most restructuring and layoffs. Resulting in much uncertainty for my fellow co-workers."

"I worked for IBM for 30 years. Throughout that time I was able to showcase my capabilities and create significant job movement up the management chain. Although, throughout that time the initial respect for individual that was defined when I started, diminished through the years. As with the benefits and retirement package."

"Raises have stagnated, bonuses are continually pushed out, benefits have gotten worse and more expensive, the morale is at an all time low from rampant seemingly random layoffs, and the company is entirely driven by 'earnings per share' instead of focusing on making better more competitive products."

"I've worked in the Semiconductor Research and Development Center for 6 years. There is very little advancement both in title/position and salary across at least 3 levels of management. Coupled with the lack of hiring and the growing demand to perform more with less there is very little morale."
