IBM has a strong career path for technical people. You can get a mentor who really cares about you and helps you plan your career over the next 10 years.
IBM really cares about making it easy for people with diverse backgrounds to work together without discrimination. I’m not going to say that women have it perfect out here, but management makes an active effort to promote women, and this creates an atmosphere that is more conducive to collaboration than any I have seen elsewhere. Discrimination against Asians is nonexistent, or at least not significant enough for me to detect.
People will go out of their way to help you.
There is a wealth of opportunities to progress at any time. You need to ensure that you are aligned with the company goals rather than just what your manager is asking you to do.
The biggest problem at IBM is to take an idea and have world-class impact. It’s relatively easy to have any impact at the scale of one customer or even one line of business, but to create a product that’s going to revolutionize the world is difficult.
There is a reservoir of goodwill towards IBM in the world. Use it.
