IBM salaries

Education available to employees to progress skills

Age discrimination

Benefits - 401K, Pension

The outages.

Decent co-workers

None They brought me on as a contractor. There were minimal benefits.

I worked as a consultant for the last 20 years.

I can't comment on this since I was not an IBM employee. However, it was great when I worked as a contractor.

Flexibility

Better understanding of the employees needs.

The company I was doing consulting was acquired by IBM.

As a subcontractor it was a reasonable salary

fine

My coworkers and my managers.

Amazing people working at the individual contributor level.

Constant reorganization and layoffs leading to constant instability and lack of upward opportunities.

Stock options

Treat inclusion as if it applies to all individuals.

Studying the annual report and determining how I might fit into the companies goals and objectives.

It seems to be about 10% below the market average.

Diversity is emphasized over skills and abilities. I’ve seen many times where individuals without the necessary skills and experience are placed in a role over someone else in the name of diversity.

Seeing the employees that report to me exceed and get promoted.

Good salary, nominal raises.

Staggeringly incompetent management. Lots of coercion. Rankings are only for HR hiring numbers, performance means nothing.

Better at spotting snake oil

incompetent.

Remove the CEO, and his peeps

Often people come in through acquisition. I was hired multiple times.

IBM is a tier 2-3 company and pays accordingly.

Serious lack of skills.

Solving problems, leading teams, changing the way things are done

I like the Innovation and impact to the world

I don't like the global impacts on the organizational structure

favorite perk/benefit: Bonus

They have a lot of contacts and knowledge sharing information.

Their culture could be hierarchical and sometimes politice

Participate in many associations.

Name recognition, initial training program. Truly multicultural company.

Upper management focused on making their bonuses vs what is best for customers, employees and company. Working under constant threat of layoffs. Too focused on meeting diversity quotas vs hiring and promoting for performance. Career advancement: it’s who you know, not what you know. Age discrimination is rampant! You can make more money at IBM’s competitors.

Initial training program. Afterwards, get out and go elsewhere!

Opportunities

Hours

I enjoyed the large learning opportunities with large clients.

Lots of opportunities. Flexible work schedule. If you get with the right manager it's a great place to work.

Management could be an issue. There's a lot of management changes over the years. Resource actions happen every year so there's less job security than there used to be.

The salary and benefits are great.

Base Compensation, strong peer team

Always the threat of a layoff.

Well funded 401k

Experience

I want to learn from these company

Working within the company to learn a lot of skills

Coworkers were great.

Cut down departments but work stayed the same.

Yearly Cash benefit from company.

Ability to advance my skills and mobility to transfer within the company

That's personal to the 1980's

Conferences and traveling to audit my function in other California offices

The best thing is Work-life balance

Too much manager centric

Basic pay and salary benefits

Opportunities to grow. Cute edge technology. 500 futune customers, innovative

Lack of agility

Incentive Plan

Great environment, amazing people, great pay

nothing.

health benefits and pay.

The Professionalism and the global working environment

Nothing, I liked almost everything

Financial and knowledge

You meet some amazing and talented people who are more than supportive towards your growth and development on the job.

Some of the tasks on the job tend to repetitive and sometime it doesn't leave with much time to learn new skills.

Flexibility with remote working

Work-life flexibility

Nothing

Work from home convenience, pension plan, benefits, and pay.

Colleagues

Micromanaging

My favorite perk was to be able to work from home

Decent pay, okay benefits

Frequent layoffs, lack of job security. People are eliminated but not the work, so those remaining have to pick up more. Working 50-60 hours per week or more is common.

Work from home (unless you live within 50 miles of some locations) and flexibility in work hours

flexibility to work from home and working under minial supervison

Poor ethics and poor management

travel alowance

Flexibility, work Life Balance, benefits, integrity

Medical Aid and Pension

Working with great people, and excellent benefits

The company has been transitioning for several years.

Working from home

The people

IBM is so large it can be challenging to get things done, especially if you "think outside the box".

401k matching is fantastic.

Pays well. People are generally nice.

The organization is large, siloed, and nearly impossible to navigate. Very messy and difficult to progress career, especially from the summit program

Flexibility

Hires contractors to avoid paying for benefits. Constant company restructuring.

Remote work.

IBM -treat employee well - working culture

some project culture is very stressfull

travel and salary

Work life balance, multiple options to explore as per your interest

manager

flexible timings, multiple resources to learn

Tremendous opportunity for growth and promotion.

Bureaucracy

Employee benefits, remote office

Work Culture is good atIBM

pantry Food is very bad

Shifts will be flexible and people are friendly

I loved IIBM -- great experience

Nothing that I do not like

Four weeks of vacation

I did not like working there.

Too slow and bureaucratic. Very few people actually do real work.

I was able to manage people in many countries and travel extensively.

The ability to craft my own experience and gain one of the most leading innovations in technology and design thinking principles

The organizational structure to move into a different department

401K and Health benefits, as well access to employee discounts

Big company so a fair amount of job security.

Big company means very slow to pivot. A lot of digging to find the right people for something internally. The constant change of employees and positions further complicates this.

Treat you like an adult so hours are flexible.

The people I work with

Company has abandoned core values

IBM used to be a great company to work for but it no longer is. Company is actively outsourcing many of their jobs to India . Service delivery to it's customers have been cut way back. At this point I have to say I have no favorite perk.

Good Organization ,stable company ,good salary

Slow growth, too much call pressure no movement

bonus and monthly stacks

culture, work from home, people

nothing, night shift

health benefits, bonuses, perks, trainings, seminars, outings, team buildings

I came to know that this company has good reputation for building better team works among the few. The co- operation among the team members which is the result of the companies direct involvement.

I have no answer for dis-like and may be best answered during exit interview.

working from home! Of course done companies, like us, are always WFH but I've seen on-site companies employ it once a week. It's a great freedom to mix up the work day with chores and other tasks that need to be done within a 9-5 day and hard to do from the office. I think this relieves a lot of "admin stress" and bring more happiness and engagement to teammates.

Many opportunities to grow if the practitioner really wants to.

A little over-worked

Infrastructure and i like to make more friends..

Shift timings

Cab facility , free coffee ,salary as a fresher and nice training(on-board training)

Remote Office

Terrible benefits, no tuition program, no bonuses, lay offs

A paycheck of some kind is better than none.

Its perfection, surety, trust, better support of team, good guideline, better understanding and good future of employee.

pressurizing on work which is every where same . and grouping in team work as partition

good knowledge, better understanding, height of success of company and employee on work from own hard work

Flexibility to work from any location is a great bonus

Career growth is something which I do not have clarity on even after having multiple discussions with my manager. Also there are no team engagement activities or team lunches which help in building a team. Few older employees are really unprofessional with no career aspirations but want to be respected for being there in the company.

Flexibility is the only perk I like.

Very good benefits as well as company stability. The immediate management tier above me was newer and less established so they were more open to new ideas and more flexible. Good employee compensation package, decent flexibility in work schedule and onsite childcare.

Bad work/life balance because of long hours and long commute to Redmond. Worked excessively long hours some weeks due to workload and deadlines with some of our mid tier vendors.

The health care package was unparelleled and something that I miss very much at my new job at a tech company on the East coast.

It's a great place to advance your career to a certain point. You might not have the top level talent as Facebook or Google, but you have plenty of experienced people that can help you grow your career and skills. There's also reasonable job security for me.

While my team is doing well, the company as a whole has had negative press for the past several years which just becomes demoralizing. Revenue company wide has been down and it seems like there are constant layoffs. It has definitely lost some of the luster.
