IBM reviews

Despite being big blue and all the connotations that come with that, it's still a great place to work with such a large organisation that does such varied products. the locations IBM has across the world is also a bonus in providing the ability to visit other cultures and countries. there are many opportunities for recognition both within the company and on a wider stage with the range of research IBM carries out. work life balance has been a struggle in the past but has improved through the use of our own technology and acquisition of technologies have also spurred the company on.

Working at IBM is like getting another master's degree. There is so much opportunity to learn in this company, and in general, the willingness of senior technical leaders to teach (and of managers to support such education) is remarkable. Although organizational politics will sometimes create barriers, the potential of this large, talented organization can be incredible when focused & engaged on a goal. IBM also seems to be one of the leading firms in terms of "walking the talk" on work life balance. While extensive use of work/life integration tools may be seen by some as stepping off the career fast-track, it is widely used, and the level of flexibility in many divisions/organizations is quite high compared to peer firms.
