Fun Workplace but fast paced
Server Technician (Former Employee) - Ashburn, VA - March 30, 2023
Indeed Featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedCo-workers and Management were great. I had to resign and move out of state due to family health issues. There were a lot of young coworkers that needed to be trained and slowed down production.

Challenging work
IT Specialist (Former Employee) - Lexington, KY - September 23, 2023
Overall, IBM was a good, challenging work experience. It's also a very large company, so sometimes you can feel like a number or a dollar sign. It really depends on the group you work with.

Great people but low morale
Technical Support (Former Employee) - Massachusetts - September 21, 2023
I had the privilege of collaborating with highly skilled professionals during my tenure at the company. The organization offers valuable opportunities for skill development and growth. However, it's worth noting that the persistent concern regarding potential layoffs can create an uncertain and challenging work atmosphere.

Great coworkers
Program Manager (Former Employee) - Armonk, NY - September 20, 2023
Great company culture through the years. Management and peers typically supportive. Matrix management allows for autonomy. Tremendous workload and tight deadlines at times.

Jobs at IBM
The best co-workers anywhere.
Manager (Current Employee) - New York, NY - September 18, 2023
Great place to learn and the best, smartest, most welcoming co-workers you'll find anywhere. The turnaround continues. Pay is just okay and have not been much in the way of bonuses in the last 10 years or so.

Good
Engineer (Former Employee) - California - September 18, 2023
I've had the privilege of working with IBM for several years now, and I can confidently say that it has been an exceptional experience. IBM is a company that has a longstanding reputation for innovation and reliability, and my time here has only solidified that perception.

They cut US employees
Software Architect (Former Employee) - Boulder, CO - September 16, 2023
They have cut the last few US employees in some depts. The pay raises for Senior people were minimal and they did not want to promote anyone past a Band 8 level.

Was a great place to work back in the day
Marketing Representative (Former Employee) - New York, NY - September 14, 2023
Worked there as a Sales rep. It was a great time to be there, but things have changed a lot. The company doesn't look at all like it used to. No longer the dominant company in the IT industry.

Vax or Canned
Application Developer (Former Employee) - Baton Rouge, LA - September 14, 2023
I can't support a company that attempted to force vax their 400,000 employees. Other than that, it was almost a dream job. They just let politics get in the way of their people.

good WLP bad pay
Security Consultant (Current Employee) - Egypt, AR - September 13, 2023
The company excels in Work-Life Balance (WLP), ensuring employees have ample personal time. However, compensation falls below industry standard, making it a double-edged experience.

Very positive experience. Would never have left, but was ready to retire. Liked the experience more than I ever thought possible.
Project Manager (Former Employee) - Columbia, MO - September 12, 2023
What is the best part of working at the company? Pay and work environment at the office as well as remote work option. What is the most stressful part about working at the company? Learning curve of new projects. What is the work environment and culture like at the company? Very positive environment to work in. Most of our work meetings was by phone or video so dress code was loose and culture was laid back. What is a typical day like for you at the company? Lots of phone/video meetings.

Successful project delivery? Depends on how "success" is measured...
Project Manager (Former Employee) - Rtp, NC - September 12, 2023
Inefficiency persists due to the absence of effective project management support, teamwork, and, most importantly, mutual respect among colleagues. Despite an abundance of talent and creativity, there's a noticeable lack of coordinated collaboration, clear communication, and adherence to a well-structured project workflow. Whether it's a prominent campaign or a less-visible marketing project, the ultimate outcome is consistently success, albeit overbaked with the strenuous ingredients of anxiety, stress, and numerous late nights spent creating, re-creating, and duplicating efforts. The end result ultimately brings successful results through stakeholder's eyes, but at the cost of unhealthy working conditions and poor time management within the team. Ultimately, this success could be easily attained with organization, effective project management, improved communication, and a greater emphasis on team value, as opposed to the disjointed, haphazard, and overlapping efforts that currently characterize the team's work approach.
