Relaxed, laid-back environment, no micromanagement.
They drive you to learn continuously.
Their customers are not cheap, so you can do good work on projects.
Travel arrangements are above decent, even a bit over the top for my taste.
Good pay, in my location, nice workplace.
Very convenient, although a tiny bit bureaucratic work-from-home policy.
Not really cons, just annoyances.
No free coffee. It's the first company in many years where I've encountered this.
Their bureaucratic processes can take ages and a lot of your time, and are somewhat awkward at times.
Not the best health insurance compared to most other companies in the area.
Outdated/poor hardware you get to work on – that's my biggest gripe so far.
Internal trainings are more sales-oriented than technology-oriented.
Working at IBM is annoying at times. There are a lot of things that cause wasted time. Outdated hardware, complex bureaucratic processes, and no coffee on premises are my main three gripes.
Fixing these would be a tiny cost, but the impact would be significant, IMO. And it would decrease the annoyance level a lot.
It was a grilling 45-minute technical interview, followed by a managerial round that lasted a good 30 minutes (nothing special). The technical round focused on the objects you had developed and the work you had done so far.
It was a good and healthy discussion with IBM. I cleared the interview. In the interview, they asked me PL/SQL questions and other aspects of PL/SQL, where I got the offer and was selected for the position.
It was a group interview with one clear topic that we needed to solve. Basic materials were a few news articles about the company's new products. Then, we shared the results with the interviewer.
