Overall rating: 3/5
Employment status: current

Average place to work, great people, but a bloated company with bloated processes.
Pros: Work-life balance is great, have not heard of many experiences with companies as accommodating as IBM. Most people are great to interact with and are quite down-to-earth. Lots of room to experiment with different roles as this is such a big company. Good brand name, everyone knows who it is you work for without you having to elaborate like others working at some small one-off establishment.
Cons: Bureaucracy abounds due to the sheer size of the corporation. Expect many emails going nowhere in circles about very simple matters. Mass focus on cost cutting so expect management to be stingy on what many other companies would consider immaterial expenses and perks.
