Pros

Work Environment, Salary, People, Location

Pros

- Access to infinite resources to learn, grow, and innovate
- Excellent retention and work life balance for a Big corp/tech company

Advice to Management

Encourage cross groups/teams projects. Whether it's client related projects, open source, or research. We have some of the brightest minds in the industry that can be stuck doing repetitive tasks and not using their full potential.

 Coachme platform is good, but we need something more project based where people can launch a project and have other employees pitch in. Each employee could have a few hours a month dedicated to such activities. Many great features and products were developed by other companies doing this.

Pros

- good pay, relocation stipend
- strong manager and mentor base, lots of people to help and guide you through the summer
- assigned to a team and fully immersed in that team's portfolio
- you learn all about the sales cycle
- great opportunity to network with full time summits, experienced sellers and other people in company

Advice to Management

Give your intern long term AND short term projects to keep them busy! Remember to invite them to all meetings, especially client-facing ones and include them on all email chains.

Pros

Plenty opportunities to grow if you are willing to get technical skills which are overally in short supply. IBM has very flexible remote work opportunities.

Advice to Management

Don’t over promise to clients at the expense of your resources. Prioritize skills training across the board for all employees. IBM employees feel disconnected from management.

Pros

Lots of growth opportunity, lots of money to be made.

Advice to Management

Transparancy is lacking and change should be limited to every 12 in regards to customer base and territory.

Pros

Great work-life balance, kind and helpful employees.
Worked out of the NYC WeWork office, which has a fun culture.

Pros

easy hours, easy work, etc.

Advice to Management

give bonuses to top performers

Pros

It's a place where you can work hard and see the results of your work and be recognized for your efforts. This year's recognition award was hosted in one of the finest hotels in Punta Cana and IBM made all of there feel extremely special. I've never had as much support by colleagues willing to help me than at IBM. You are working among the brightest, most innovative people willing to assist you. IBM is a company that has reinvented itself so many times to not only remain relevant but to maintain it's leadership position over well over 100 years.

Advice to Management

Invest more in younger education and youth programs, so that the next generation of individuals are already very familiar with IBM's innovative solutions and past successes. We seem to be the best kept secret.

Pros

Advice to Management

perhaps fly overground?

Pros

Lot of talented people - learned a lot from my colleagues

Advice to Management

Cut execs - too many of them . Hire more doers!
