IBM

Great experience, good pay for a graduate, good for resume.

This is my first job out of college and a great one at that. I joined my team towards the end of last year during some restructuring within my small department. The people are fantastic to work with, though most of them are much older than me.

If I could change anything, it would be to work with people closer to my age. This is not to say there isn't anyone my age; there are just few. Also, I'm not a big fan of the town I'm in. It would be perfect for families, though.

Be transparent with your employees. If you are, you will be much more trustworthy to them. Don't worry about bureaucratic tape; just cut through it when new news isn't top secret. I've appreciated my manager's transparency.
