Employee Benefit Reviews
Most Commented
- Vacation & Paid Time Off (456 comments)
“3 weeks + 1 week of personal choice holidays. Plenty of sick days and very flexible schedules.”
- IBMOct 16, 2018StarStarStarStarStar
Good benefits, except mental health. Limited in who you can see. I have had the same therapist for years and she isn’t anywhere near the network. Nice 401K matching.

Competitive benefits package is offered to employees
- IBMOct 11, 2018StarStarStarStarStar
The company has excellent benefits from healthcare to 401K.
- IBMOct 10, 2018StarStarStarStarStar
The benefits package is above average. 5% company match + 1% auto contributions for the 401k. Health insurance has a bunch of options (many very low cost). Dental insurance is bad ($23/month for a max coverage of $500 per year). Vision is pretty good -- free check-up, $120 per contacts / lenses, free frames all for $6/month.
- IBMOct 09, 2018StarStarStarStarStar
If you make an error when selecting benefits, it's impossible to change.
- IBMOct 08, 2018StarStarStarStarStar
As an intern, you don't get any benefits other than the hourly salary.
- IBMOct 16, 2018StarStarStarStarStar
health insurance, 401K, vacation, time off
- IBMOct 13, 2018StarStarStarStarStar
No vacation time or benefits. No 401k. Lots of travel, okay wages and remote work from home was a plus.
- IBMOct 12, 2018StarStarStarStarStar
Dental insurance, even "high option" is expensive and limited in coverage.
- IBMOct 10, 2018StarStarStarStarStar
Pretty average overall. A few notable benefits to win some awards but overall the benefits reflect a shareholder first mentality which doesn't really benefit the shareholders
