IBM

The Company has a good work/life balance with the flexibility of working from home. For parents (mothers/parents), it's an ideal place to attend to both family and professional responsibilities.

Very open and sociable environment, allowing for growth in different areas.

Ideally, IBM is global and you can develop your career to fit your aspirations. However, an attempt to switch functions or pursue a different role is met with such resistance. Eventually, those who are unable to crack the resistance leave the company. I don't recommend it for those who wish to grow breadth-wise as opposed to depth-wise growth. Most of the move and shifts are within top management. For example, all 5/6 employees recruited in the last 5 years have left the department. All the employees in the department have been there 15-20+ years -- nothing has changed!

Encourage and facilitate employees to explore the wealth of knowledge provided by the company.
