IBM Work Experiences
3.0
Relaxed, but not so productive
Software Engineer • Former Employee
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
October 21, 2012
Pros: This review is for IBM Canada. The workplace is very laid back. People come in at 8:30 in the morning and leave around 4:30 in the afternoon, and even earlier if the boss leaves early. Everyone has his/her own little office, and there is very little supervision as long as one finishes his/her assigned tasks on time.
Cons: Not a highly intellectual environment. The work itself was bland, and there was no strong motivation to really work hard and achieve something. Communication between coworkers was limited, as people tended to stay in their own offices.
5.0
Great flexibility and work culture
