IBM

IBM has been in industry for more than 100 years. It's a legacy. IBM is always pioneering when it comes to technology and innovation.

Through ups and downs, it is still here, surviving and giving what's matter to the world. IBM will give you immense opportunities to showcase your skills; there are a lot of trainings here. It's up to you if you are going to use them or not.

IBM has great company policies. You're free from traditional office setups, especially here in the Philippines.

We have IBM Watson.

It comes with a great brand that makes you feel something: an IBMer.

And above all, integrity is in IBMers' DNA.

Well, it depends on you why you choose to be here. If you have in you the drive to chase greatness, like in my case, even if I am already an IBMer, I am still working hard to be the IBMer, to be in the real IBM World. Because that's my goal. This is my dream company, no matter how bad it looks to other "great" people out there. This is where I wanted to be since I started to learn the undying "HELLO WORLD".

It's not perfect. The worst part was when I became a part of a team that wasn't seeing the company the way I saw it. The negativity would eat you alive, so if you are going to be here, ask yourself first why.

Money? The compensation here is good for a young and single professional. I don't think my salary right now can send a single kid to college.

Benefits? I am currently paying a minimal percentage of my HMO, and there's not even dental coverage, which is of course a no-no.

I just hope employees can have the most competitive compensation among other companies in the IT industry here in the Philippines.
