When I joined the company 30 years ago, its tenet was "IBM's most valuable asset is its employees." How times change..
Talented and bright colleagues (but numbers are diminishing due to layoffs). Great locations (but disappearing as they are gradually sold off). Exciting projects (but sweatshop working hours).
I guess the world is reorganizing. IBM executives, morally bereft towards the loyal workforce who built it into the company it is, are moving it out of the US and Western Europe and into low-wage economies such as India, China, Eastern Europe, and Russia. If you are in one of those countries, you will undoubtedly see these as good times and open your arms to this company as relatively highly paid jobs come your way. If you aren't, give this company a wide berth; it has little to offer you.
What would be the point?

IBM Interview Experiences
Engineer
A couple of interviews were conducted with technical staff. The problem was that management indicated a move from a hybrid model to a full in-office policy. That wasn't going to fly when I was doing the same job for a competitor fully remote.

Very easygoing and laid-back. Great environment. More questions about fit than technical questions. They have a wonderful culture and are looking for those who will align with their values.

The interview was good. I joined IBM India in 2007. I was in Bangalore. I learned a lot at IBM during my tenure there. I worked in storage and service management during that time. I learned different aspects of technology.
