Miserable environment, full of red tape
Miserable environment, full of red tape
Salary is decent, benefits are okay, flex-time and work-from-home are available.
Inept management (look at the share price), insane internal security, ridiculous forms, processes, and red tape to get anything done. Internal systems are a horrible mix of Java apps, web forms, and Flash. IBM likes to eat their own dog food, but their commercial software is awful and third-rate.
Give up and live off the patents. You haven't done anything innovative in 30 years.

Applied online, then received an email for a coding challenge. After passing the coding challenge (approx. 3 hours), I was invited for an online technical interview (approx. 1 hour) and an HR interview (approx. 1 hour).

The interview process was fine, but it was drawn out because many of the Human Resources functions are now run from Costa Rica, and approval from corporate US headquarters in Armonk is required.
