IBM Work Experiences
- 5.0Good Balance, Limited RemoteGraduate Software Developer • Current EmployeeDublin, Leinster, IrelandJuly 31, 2025Pros: Good work-life balance there.Cons: Nothing much, just cannot work remotely outside the country.
- 4.0It's a good place to workGraduate Software Developer • Former EmployeeHursley, England, United KingdomOctober 4, 2017Pros: - People working in IBM are nicer than average. - Challenging work environment with a lot of space for your ideas. - With time, if you are keen to stay in the company (and lucky enough), you can easily change your day job.Cons: Salary, maybe? I don't have much comparison to do. I found IBM quite okay for everything. The only problem I see is that if you join as a graduate, there is a high probability you don't get to do the job you want (i.e., support instead of development), which is a bit annoying for a fresh starter.
