IBM Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"I've worked for IBM for 10 years in the GBS area. I find that the company focuses more on the billing and less on the product. The executives like to tout the forward thinking attitude of the company and that it strives to give the employees every opportunity to do what they want with their career but for the most part they are speaking of internal employees, external (GBS) employees are encouraged to put in more hours."

"Worked with great people, which made me enjoy my stay there."

"I have worked for IBM since 1999. I was hired off the street and not through an acquisition. Over the past 15 years I have seen significant decline in quality of service to client base through salary cuts, resource actions, and off shoring of work. We have had 6 bad financial quarters in a row. It is no wonder that they have done the most recent resource action. I leave knowing I have done a great job and dang proud of work."

"IBM took consistent advantage of their contractors and contracting companies. They repeatedly mandated reduced work-weeks, furloughs, and circuitous processes contributing to an overworked staff for particular environments. Additionally, due to the requirements of some work that employees work longer hours during a particular day, there were many occasions when the full team was unavailable for work at the end of the week, due to a complete ban on any overtime."

"I've worked for IBM for about 9 years and I find it to be a strong company, however I do believe the company would receive more business if their rates weren't so high. This would also keep the company at a manageable employee head count. High prices and not enough personnel to fulfill maintenance obligations is weighing heavy on clients and employees."

"Great place to start up an IT career. I'd only recommend it as a launching job and a way to build your skills prior to entering the job market."

"I have worked at IBM for 17 years. I have always been rated as a top performer by my management team. In the past 5 years the work environment at IBM has gone down hill. Hopefully after 2015, IBM can focus on being an industry leader and start treating its employees better."

"It's a positive experience but by being a new center there are a lot of moving parts, and not enough resources to address them. The client/center agreement is not aligned too many miscommunications."

"IBM of OLD is no more. The blind leading the blind is the best to describe it now. Work-Life balance never existed."

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

"I worked for IBM for several years. I learned many skills that I found valuable in my professional life. Unfortunately, IBM is no longer considered one of the best places to work for, because the employees are regarded as a cost rate versus being an asset to the company. Morale has declined because measurements are becoming harder to obtain, and less is being offered for motivation. I dream that IBM will reconsider their values and make the correct choices for a better future for all."

"I have been working for Macy's ever since joined IBM. Worked on wide range technologies throughout my career."

"I have worked with IBM for over 13 years and they treat their employees like numbers. They do not care at all to empower their employees with everything needed to do their job on a daily basis and make it nearly impossible to advance in the company no matter the quality of the work you do."

"I've been working two years in Belgium in a really technical environment with experimented people. It was a great experience where I learned a lot."

"I was outsourced from Cendant and was forced to work at IBM."
