Great place to work and to learn
Pros: I started working at IBM as an intern and it's been almost 7 years of work in total. Throughout this journey there was no lack of incentives for me to be a better employee every day. We have a series of initiatives that appeal to all types of people. Here I have mentors, coaches, I take courses on everything I want, I have contact with people from all over the world and I am often recognized for the work I do. The company has a very strong culture and values that are put into practice every day. There is great care in promoting a healthy work environment and a sense of belonging for each employee. IBM is like a mother!
Cons: The remuneration is good, but it is not among the best in the market. The work is hard, often requiring overtime. Although it is a technology company, the tools we use in my sector (Q2C) are old and manual and always demand innovations for them (when the best solution would be to change them all at once). There is great pressure on quartile closings.Lots of bureaucracy in processes that should be simple. There is a huge fear that someone will do something wrong, which often creates the need for many approvals for anything you have to do, multiplying the execution time and making the changes that really matter difficult.
