Good company, but its workforce is basically interns.

Pros
  • Flexible;
  • Home office;
  • There's nothing to wish for regarding payment and other employment duties; they are always very certain and punctual.
  • Depending on the project, there are wonderful people.
  • There are channels for reporting (harassment, racism, homophobia, etc.) that work.
  • Inclusion actually exists; it's not just marketing.
Cons
  • Absurd pressure even though you are an intern. Sometimes you are responsible for the delivery of a software by yourself, with almost no help (often with the support of another intern or a junior, only). In other words, you get paid an intern's salary, but the delivery is expected to be so good that it benefits IBM much more than the amount paid, and I notice this happens frequently in developing countries.

  • Now that I'm a full-time employee, they put me on a project practically alone, and the other devs are interns.

  • Basically, the workforce consists only of interns and recently hired Application Developers.
