Working at IBM in Markham, ON: 18 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Markham, ON Area

"Not only did I complete two co-op terms at IBM during my university career, but I also joined them full-time in July 2018. IBM has been great from a learning perspective. IBM offers vast resources and invests a lot in their new hires. I appreciated this very much. However, what has been making me struggle lately is the lack of culture. The company is not only very old but has a large generation gap. There are applications and processes that have never changed. The new hires and I continue to challenge the norm (as we should in any company). I need to be in an environment that fosters new ideas, can move quickly, and have fun at the same time."

"I have worked at IBM since 2016, first as an intern and now as a full-timer. Its a great place to work and the colleagues are always helping you to do your best work."

"I have worked for IBM as an intern and it was a great experience. I got a chance to learn about new technologies and remain up-to-date with the next thing the company was working on. Also, working there for 16 months gave a lot of experience in how a large multi-national company operates."

"I was on a 16 month internship, and it was a good experience to add to my resume. I made some really good connections, and got the opportunity to work on some cool products."

"As an intern, I was very pleased with the experience and the people I worked with. However there were not very many opportunities to move up in the company as an intern due to the limited job openings."

"I have worked with IBM Canada throught IBM India for about 3.5 yrs and I have worked with a major bank in Toronto. Providing them services like Performance Test management."

"Big company is not for me."

"I've found it a good company to work at."

"Great place to work. A privilege to be a part of IBM."

"I've worked at IBM since last six months. It is good company to start your career."

"I worked on various software projects and served as L3 support at IBM for 2 years. All my co-workers are independent and refused to provide help (possibly due to the relative ranking system). Employees under the same band rating are consistently evaluated and due to the large number of employees at IBM, it becomes hard to get promoted and move forward for a career in software engineering. Lack of help also promotes a very stressful working schedule."

"IBM is the largest IT organisation in the world. The organisation has a completely open work culture with complete trust and flexibility for the employees.The focus on enhancing the domain knowledge of employees and the enormous amount of information available on the intranet provide opportunities to learn besides carrying out the day to day activities."

"I worked at IBM as an intern student from May 2012 to September 2012. IBM has relative competitive intern salary in Canada, and good working environment."

"I've found it to be a strong company with great products and customers."

"After working for IBM for 24 years I am sad to say I would not recommend to anyone else to do the same. The culture over the years has changed and it is no longer the company I started with and I think it starts from the top with the CEO."
