Stay far far away! Toxic culture, lack of accountability, no company direction.
Pros: Higher level positions supposedly pay very well, but I was not exposed to that.
Cons: The corporate culture isn't just toxic, it's nonexistent. At IBM, you are expected to put your head down and do your work, there is no collaboration. I received next to no training, and was expected to succeed immediately. If you don't, it's your own fault. I was a part of the Watson Health business unit, which is a total sinking ship. As many progressive companies move towards flexible work environments, IBM is moving further from it. In my 9 months in this position, I never once had any type of 1:1 or coaching from my manager to discuss performance, much less career goals. There is constant turnover for all of the aforementioned reasons, and as such, I had 4 different managers in my 9 month tenure. I can not stress enough, stay far far away. I regret to even give IBM 1 star.
