Great company, weak management in the Nordics
Pros: As a technical professional IBM is a unique place to work and offers outstanding possibilities to work on challenging and ground breaking projects.
Great possibilities for global networking and projects.
Very open, friendly and supportive culture.
High degree of freedom to manage your own work and life.
A genuine industry leader, most of our competitors want to be more like us.
Cons: It is a huge global corporation with the associated processes and politics.
Salaries in Sweden are low compared to competitors (but they offer very generous pension and parental leave benefits)
Ridiculous focus on cost cutting. We all understand why employers need to reduce costs, sometime extensively, but it has now gone so far in IBM Nordics that it is embarrassing.
