IBM

IBM has impressed me with its commitment to diversity. The company has so many interesting projects in development and combines viewpoints from international employees as well as those within the US. The resources available on site are quite sufficient for research and personal development, and the location of the site is ideal for anyone interested in live music, making for a good work/life balance opportunity.

Apparently there are some divisions that do work longer hours, but I have not experienced this personally. I find that those who work longer weeks are a bit too committed to their work. I have found that the managers are quite flexible when it comes to their employees' schedules.

Encourage departments to host more morale-boosting activities. I remember at one of the sites I worked at, the department had a boccie ball tournament over the course of many weeks. It got the coworkers to loosen up a bit and become friendlier amongst each other.
