Good place to get experience, but very poor performance review system
Great people. Lots of opportunities inside IBM. Good compensation.
Performance reviews are done in a meaningless way. Everybody except one or two receives the same performance review. Some managers are incompetent compared to others. Generally, performance reviews must be done strictly for managers as well as employees. Whatever standard is set, like publication, patent, and product impact, it needs to be completely reviewed. Senior management is only running the company to maximize their own personal compensation. Work coordination between teams is not done well. Decisions are made very slowly. Good work often is not recognized if you are under an incompetent manager. If you want to work at IBM, try to find a competent manager.
