After almost 20 years, I still enjoy my work at IBM
Software Development Manager • Current Employee
Markham, Ontario, Canada
January 5, 2009
Pros: IBM Software Group is active in many areas of technology, so there are always interesting projects to work on.
I have also discovered that it is very possible to have a great deal of freedom within IBM, provided one can demonstrate the value of what you are doing.
Cons: During the Gerstner years, there seemed to be less focus on process, audits, etc. That, sadly, has been returning lately. Given the current (Jan 2009) economic woes, there is a fair bit of apprehension among employees. However, I suspect that is true of almost all companies and all employees these days. :(
