"I've worked within IBM for 4.5 years. They have locations virtually on every single country in the world. I had the opportunity to work on projects with colleagues from several different countries, providing them guidance to get the work done. Due to the very nice environment of the company I've always got the best from my coworkers, therefore providing the best service possible to our customers."

"I've worked for IBM since 1998 as an employee now a contractor. I've found it to be a strong company with good ethical values and an emphasis on customer relationship and retention. The company employs around 400K people internationally with locations around the globe."

"IBM is an adequate place to work--nothing very good to say, nothing very bad. Management seems to think its resources are fungible--replaceable at a whim, which makes working for IBM a trying experience."

Executive IT Architect

"IBM is not the company I hired into 20 years ago. The internal politics, business integrity and general attitude towards staff has all gone south in the Services unit. Things may be different in other divisions, but corporate pressure to make the financials on the backs of the poorly led and paid rank and file is the norm in services. If you get into IBM, use it to learn everything you can from product to method and then find a real paying job where people are truly respected."

"I am working as a software engineer here since 2013. It is a cool place to work and suits developers best as it is a lab and hence, less formal. Nice location to work too."

"The team for VOIP is excellent; really some of the best guys in the industry. The downsides are nearly 100% traveling time, and IBM can be a bureaucracy, so getting administrative stuff done is not fun. There are also frequent resource actions, however, I find they do try and keep their top talent.Overall I enjoyed my time at IBM."
