IBM

IBM is inclusive, encourages growth, praises your accomplishments, and never points fingers at you when you fall short. Work doesn't even feel like work at IBM because it's so easy to fall in love with what you do. Every day is something new, a different challenge, and an all-new opportunity to grow.

Work/life balance is perfect! I live a very comfortable and happy life as an IBMer.

I thought long and hard about this. I tried very hard to be fair when considering cons, to avoid being biased about this. As of the time I wrote this review, there is only ONE con that I can think of.

That is remote work 100% of the time is NOT possible outside of the pandemic. They will require you to physically go to the office in the future, once COVID is under control.

Aside from that, IBM is truly a one-of-a-kind company to work for.

Allocate more time for your mentors to help the apprentices they are assigned to. Mentors can be so busy with their work that a 15-minute 1:1 meeting can sometimes be pushed to the end of the day, when an apprentice might need some quick guidance to move forward. This isn't a dire issue, but I must provide some kind of feedback to make you aware! :)
