Development Engineer Interview Experience - Austin, Texas
Process
I applied online through IBM's website.
About a month later, I received a call from HR asking some clarifying questions about my resume and experience. That conversation went well, and the lady told me she would forward my resume.
The next day, I heard from someone in the department I would be working in. He asked me questions more about my technical experience and projects. That conversation also went well, and he told me I should expect to hear from HR.
It has been a couple of weeks, and I haven't heard anything yet. Overall, this has been a very positive experience, and I hope to have the opportunity to start my career with IBM.

IBM Work Experiences
- 5.0Great place to work with great minds!Development Engineer • Former EmployeeAustin, Texas, United StatesMay 3, 2011Pros: The best part of my experience at IBM was the right mix of engineering and research. While I was working on a real product, I also got to solve challenging problems to make my way.Cons: Did not work long enough to find a downside. Except they are not in a hiring spree. Otherwise, great.
- 2.0Not what it used to beDevelopment Engineer • Current EmployeePoughkeepsie, New York, United StatesApril 10, 2013Pros: IBM is a huge company, and because of that, there are many opportunities for long-term employees to go overseas to China or India, which are the only growth areas in IBM. They offer decent salaries after 20 years.Cons: They are working towards a $20 per share earnings target by 2015. That has resulted in very deep, often ill-advised cost-cutting. There is no incentive to work hard, and the bonus salary plans have been gutted to meet the 2015 goal. Employees come last at IBM; don't ever forget it.
- 3.0Good exposure, but the low salaryDevelopment Engineer • Former EmployeePoughkeepsie, New York, United StatesDecember 14, 2011Pros: Flexible timings and intelligent people to work with.Cons: Low salary, career growth, and promotion are not good.
