Overall rating: 4/5
Employment status: current
Experience level: Senior

Work with elite scientists and engineers
Pros: There is an academic environment with seminars and learning opportunities. Many top-notch colleagues who have shaped the computer industry over the years. Can have freedom to work on long-term projects with some (but not total) disconnect from the quarter-by-quarter business struggle.
Cons: Sometimes feel disconnected from the rest of the company. Input not always valued by others outside Research. IBM is struggling in a changing industry and money is tight.
