IBM

IBM has an exceptional level of professionalism at all levels. The management is top-notch, and there are essentially unlimited resources if you know how to access them. It is reasonably easy to move around within the company. That, in addition to a one-job-year commitment policy, provides opportunities to try new careers without leaving.

The processes put in place to make such a large company viable also serve as frustrating obstacles to creating change. IBM has become a very top-heavy company. Due to new policies put in place to address this, it is slow and difficult for new graduates to move up. This is especially frustrating when colleagues at other companies get promoted multiple times while you wait.

Provide an easier track for young hires to move up.

Create better structures to facilitate cross-product collaboration.

Do more to encourage a social environment at the office.
