Better than expected
- Can be flexible for your situation, if you need to work from home or remotely for example.
- HR "people" managers are willing to listen to you and work with you.
- Co-workers are friendly, and we all look to enjoy ourselves at work.
-
There seems to be contention between upper and middle management.
-
The desire for innovation and internal projects seems to not have the support that engineering staff need to fully realize them. Middle management can't budget the time/effort against their immediate responsibilities and projects for the team. Yet without such support, internal projects and true innovation cannot materialize.
-
IBM is a mixed bag of corporate processes, policies, and work cultures. This seems to have happened due to the large volume of acquisitions all coming together but never unifying. Granted, it would be a significant cost to make such a huge unification, but it does make it hard to navigate as an employee with the way it currently is.

It was a nice interview session. I interviewed for the IBM z/VM systems team, working for their virtualization team. Most of the questions were behavioral. Some questions covered background and projects, and also the Linux kernel.
