Very flexible on work location.
Big, big company; can move around and experience different areas.
Poor bonuses and raises, even for a "1" rating multiple years in a row.
Project management does not know anything technical or how to coordinate development.
Executives do not act like they value engineers.
The climate is terrible, and there is no investment in the work facility, making people not want to be around the office.
Reverse 401k decision.
Clean out the "working at IBM 30+ yrs but doesn't do anything anymore" crowd.
Reward top contributors competitively.
After sending my resume, it took one month before I heard back for a telephone interview. Another three weeks later, there were two rounds of technical interviews before I received the job offer.
Interviews are normally very formal. Interview panels at IBM are technically very strong. I have been working with IBM for 12 years, so I can't speak much about the current interview process.
Internal transfer position. The hiring manager is looking for more work skills expansion in information systems.
