Great unique experience, but the work environment is disappointing
Great unique experience, but the work environment is disappointing
There is an amazing breadth of experience you can gain working at IBM. A 300mm semiconductor fab is leading-edge technology, which provides an endless amount of personal and technical challenges. There exists a lot of flexibility in work schedules, without effort, to balance your personal life.
Part-time employment, while available, is extremely limited in career growth despite the hype. The environment is extremely and unnecessarily stressful due to inappropriate distribution of resources, as well as poor top-down middle management techniques.
Manage managers with the same level of accountability that exists for employees.
