No applicable cons to be listed.
- 2.0Dec 19, 2016Anonymous EmployeeFormer Employee, more than 1 year
Pros
Pleased with middle management: In 2 years, I've had 3 different direct managers who were very attentive and invested in my professional development as a university/new graduate hire. Friendly and helpful work environment: All of my coworkers were extremely knowledgable and helpful, and getting tasks done never felt adversarial. Flexible work environment: many employees work from home and are still able to communicate with each other effectively
Cons
Reward scheme is awful to nonexistent: Before the end of my first year, I transitioned from QA to development at my own request to work on a newer product. Despite helping present for a conference and receiving a PBC 1, I wasn't given any sort of raise, promotion or stock options package. My starting salary was far below market value and did not change at all in two years. I know lateral moves seem to be the only way to get a raise these days (I negotiated a 30% raise plus stock options). It felt like a lost cause once I had to initiate negotiation for a pay raise.
6 - 5.0Aug 6, 2021Software Support EngineerCurrent Employee, less than 1 year
Pros
My time at IBM has showed me what a positive and encouraging work environment can cool like. I have felt very supported within my own team and have many outlets/avenues I can go to. They truly care about their employees health and well being. They offer many learning platforms to take courses on the latest technologies.
Cons
Working from home can be considered a con for some, but I enjoy the flexibility.
