IBM Employee Reviews

Co-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.

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.

They cut US employees

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.

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.
