IBM Work Experiences
- 5.0Very friendly atmosphereDevOps Developer Intern • Current EmployeeMarkham, Ontario, CanadaJuly 31, 2023Pros: Relaxed but rewarding work, plus work from home.Cons: Slightly unorganized management and old technologies.
- 5.0A company larger than the government of the USASoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeSan Jose, California, United StatesNovember 2, 2012Pros: IBM has always been a market leader.Cons: Too huge, like a government employment. No yearly increments :-(.
- 3.0The old IBM culture is totally not there. In the US, be ready for your job to be outsourced any timeAdvisory Software Engineer • Former EmployeeSan Jose, California, United StatesJanuary 31, 2012Pros: There is some good technology for a software engineer. However, that technology is getting dated very fast. It is a good company to be in if you have some manager or lead associated with your job title. Managers, architects, and leads do reap benefits of raises and bonuses. Financially, the company always makes a profit.Cons: No job security for US employees. Pay raises and bonuses for technical engineers are almost nonexistent. If you are a technical person, be prepared to be abused, especially if you are working in the US. Long hours with little or no recognition for work are standard practice, especially in the software business unit. Technical growth opportunities just do not exist. Every year, middle and upper management looks to see how much of the work done in their groups/orgs in the US can be shipped and outsourced to India or China. The company's financial profits result in bonuses and raises only at the top.
