Working at IBM in Yorktown Heights, NY: 13 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Yorktown Heights, NY Area

"Great company, very good place to learn and be at the forefront of future technology. Here we can redefine what research is and understand what it means to be a part of technologies future."

"I've been working in Research and Development as a consultant at IBM since 2015. In this role I've created a custom system for the Quantum Computing group. This system enables the group to track and correlate fabrication experiment results, and has been a great success."

"IBM is a very good company with several business units working together. It would be an excellent workplace if internal politics were reduced."

"I have enjoyed the challenges here and the people I interact with are top notch. The problem I have is that I am away from my family 5 days a week, otherwise I would stay here indefinitely."

"Great place. Amazing amounts of creativity and ability to deliver incredible innovation."

"IBM and IBM Research has changed a lot over the many years that I worked for them. The focus of IBM Research has moved from longer-term to shorter-term work, and from more academic topics to more practical ones. In the last few years, the pendulum has swung to very immediate concerns, driven by IBM's 2015 profit plan. For the last several years, I was in the Services Research department. That group was reorganized several times while I was there, and was searching for a mission. It didn't find one, at least not one that made sense to me. That was discouraging for me, and I believe for my colleagues. IBM's employment practices are excellent. Pay and benefits are good. Lots of flexibility regarding when to work, remote work, etc. The people around me were really smart, engaging, eager folks. They could accomplish a lot with better leadership."
