Working at IBM in Seattle, WA: 8 Employee Reviews

IBM Employee

"I've been working for IBM India for past 3 yrs. It's really a good company to work for and do a lot, but there are few teams where you won't get a chance to learn a lot and do well. We have to go out of the way to learn and develop ourselves which is not a fair play inside the organization. Over all IBM is a good company to work for but the management should give more liberty to allow people expand their area of expertise."
