IBM Employee Reviews for Senior Test Technician

"Worst place to work"

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Run away."

What don't you like about working at IBM?

"I worked there for 11 years and was unhappy most of the time. The management in VT knows there are no other places to go in the area and treat you poorly. There is an overlying extremely negative attitude throughout the entire plant which can get to you after a while. Opportunity for advancement is nil unless you're in the good ole boys club. Jobs that are posted are not really open, just a formality as the person has already been picked and if it's a management position, the ex-managers who were pushed aside during layoffs and given useless staff positions are slid back into management. This stifles all growth within the plant. If I sound negative about IBM, I am. It's the worst place I have worked."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Purge the management and the old ideals. Start treating people as people instead of a commodity."
