IBM

• Certifications.

You can take free certifications here, whether they are cloud-related or whatnot.

• Learning resources.

You have free Udemy and internal IBM Learning Resources.

• Experience working with known companies.

• Free COVID-19 vaccination.

• Brand (IBM is a well-known company).

• Salary. This must be the lowest when compared to its competitors.
• Benefits. Still, not even close to its competitors.
• Higher Management. There is a big problem when a fresh graduate felt that there is something wrong.
• Incentives. Non-existent (maybe depends on the project).
• Bootcamp. Not extensive when compared to other companies.

Known/big companies are not for fresh graduates. If you have a career path that you want to pursue, never apply to big companies that don't specify what you're going to work on (fullstack development, mobile development, analyst, etc.). Even though you're the top of the class during bootcamp, that doesn't matter because they will give you a random role. More than likely, you'll get a support role (ticketing, monitoring, and Excel).

Covid-19 response. We passed bootcamp in March 2020 and were deployed in September 2020.

I declined numerous offers between March 2020 and September 2020 with the role I wanted because I trusted IBM. I took my internship here (which was miles ahead compared to my current work) and applied here. I didn't expect this from IBM. It's like they didn't even take a glimpse at your resume. Not recommended unless you don't have a career path planned ahead.
