IBM Solutions Delivery, Inc. (Philippines) - Fresh Graduate (2020)
Pros: - Certifications. You can take free certifications here whether it is cloud related or whatnot.
- Learning resources. You have free Udemy and internal IBM Learning Resource.
- Experience working with known companies.
- Free covid-19 vaccination.
- Brand (IBM is a well known company)
Cons: - Salary. This must be the lowest one when compared to its competitors.
- Benefits. Still, not even close to its competitors.
- Higher Management. You know there is a big problem when a fresh graduate felt that there's something wrong.
- Incentives. Non-existent (maybe depends on project)
- Bootcamp. Not that extensive when compared to other companies.
- Known / Big companies are not for fresh graduates. If you have a career path that you want to pursue, never ever apply to big companies who doesn't put what you're going to work on specifically (fullstack development, mobile development, analyst, etc.). Even though you're the top of the class during bootcamp, that doesn't matter at all because they will give you a random role. More than likely, you'll get a support role (ticketing, monitoring, and excel).
- Covid19 response. We passed bootcamp in March 2020, we were deployed in September 2020.

I declined numerous offers between March 2020 to September 2020 with the role that I want because I trusted IBM. I took my internship here (which is miles ahead compared to my current work) and applied here. I didn't expect this from IBM. Its like they didn't even took a glimpse at your resume. Not recommended unless you don't have a career path planned ahead.
