IBM Employee Reviews

I was downsized 55.

My time with IBM was prior to 1993. At the time I was there opportunity existed. I really don't know today. It is a different company.

Downsized at 55. No raise after that.

I had growth opportunities & focused on being successful on those projects to build a positive reputation within the company

network, projects, learning, colleagues, more

Traditionally not great but there’s a renewed focus on career progression & growth

I have no clue what IBM does anymore.

Prior to 1993 its purpose was to provide a quality, defect product and to put your customer first.

I am sure they do. I don’t know what they do anymore!

chaning the world via technology is among our mission

Great opportunity to work on tech that fundamentally improves lives

I was fired as a supplemental for turning down the first: call in 33 years.

I can't speak to today. Prior to 1993, it was difficult to get time off.

No job, lots of time off.

I was just assigned a new manager & the same time I had to step up to manage an end of life event. He gave me personal time during that period of time

covid19, racial injustices, family time, rejuvination before more work

Employees are given a great deal of flexibility over their time

It was a family. I don’t think it exists anymore.

Prior to 1993, it was an inclusive, welcoming place to work. It was a Thomas Watson company. A place where people respected each other. A family oriented company. IBM was a leader in Human Resource Management.

It used to be, I don’t know about now!

I was taught very early on in my career, the importance of diversity & inclusion

as an african-american man I have had less inclusive workplaces and interactions than my current situaiton

Prides itself on being an inclusive environment where you can work with a diverse set of people

Only through virtual response machines.

Prior to 1993, feedback was both written and verbal. Written was hand written appraisals. You received feedback that would help you meet your goals and the goals of the company. Feedback was actionable. I don't think empathetic was a word used or expressed during my time at IBM,

I don’t know if there’s an IBMer left in town. No feedback.

My manager was direct in both positive & negative feedback

I have transparent constructive chats with my "career commitee" team that balance both personal and professional aspects of my life

The company is very focused on radical candor & feedback
