"I worked for IBM for 30 years. Throughout that time I was able to showcase my capabilities and create significant job movement up the management chain. Although, throughout that time the initial respect for individual that was defined when I started, diminished through the years. As with the benefits and retirement package."
"Company going down hill. High pressure with low pay. Executives make tons of money yet employees are told we didn't meet our expected number. No raises, no bonuses, have to contribute more each year towards medical. Not the IBM of years ago."
"In the 12 years I was at IBM, the company changed drastically. It started with little things (no more free lunches, etc) and eventually ended with major changes (401K), which mostly affected us blue collar workers. The morale after the summer 2013 layoffs was infectious and I honestly hated going to work. I combated this by just working from home, but in the end I just saw too many people who didn't care anymore. A lot of people had and still are. I'm waiting for my severance package."
"I worked over 25 years with IBM and built a great career with them.They supported and encouraged me to continue college.The working environment was very good and the people I engaged with had great attitudes. Overall it is a good place to work."
"I have worked with IBM for over 14 years and have seen the company go through many transitions. There is a lot of hype around being willing to try new things and make career changes, however, opportunities are scarce, as most hiring managers tend to place labels on people based on past experience. I have found it very difficult to move up and around the company."
"IBM sees you more like a number than a person. Not the kind of environment I like."
"Worked for IBM for 17 years and with the exception of the fact that I was laid off basically for doing such a good job, it was a tremendously good company."
"Was a dead end job from the start. No company vision for the future - excessive outsourcing. All the good people left."
"The CEO lacks vision and is only making numbers by laying off, selling off, and off-shore outsourcing."
