Pros

The best reasons to work for IBM are the flexible working environment. There are flexible work hours, which means you can come in when you want and leave when you want, as long as you get your work done. Also, most managers will let you work remotely from home from time to time. The floater holidays are especially great to have in the summer. It is a friendly community with many extracurricular clubs, sports, and activities. IBM promotes higher education through IBM-paid courses and reimbursement for graduate school. There are many opportunities to grow or change careers within IBM.

  • No overtime pay
  • Strict performance evaluations
  • Very competitive environment (can be good and bad)
Advice to Management
