Employee - Manager / Senior Manager

Company culture that is collaborative and family focused.

Employee - Analyst / Associate

Wish there was more focus on client perception, not stock valuation.

Employee - Analyst / Associate

At one time it was *the* place to work. Changes in company business model and direction have made it run of the mill. Valuing employees appears to be a thing of the past - cookie cutter replaceable pieces.

Employee - Director

Culture has degraded over the last several years.

Employee - Director

Learned a great deal at the company. Accomplished quite a bit, proud of the work that was done.

Employee - Manager / Senior Manager

I would change how the career plan is presented for new hires, make it clearer.

Employee - Principal / Managing Director / General Manager

IBM has lost the appeal in making the employee feel valued. They have removed all programs to identify the employees that go the extra mile and there is no reward. It used to be where you received your Personal Business Commitment rating and it meant something, that you are doing good, or not and will be retained as IBM often lays off. Now days, 1 being the highest rating, you can be a solid 1 rating your 15 yrs at the company, because you gave it your all plus some and it means nothing. If they are offshoring your profession title, you are gone, how do they determine that?

Employee - Principal / Managing Director / General Manager

They are a big company with great technology, bleeding edge. Lot's of politics, great to be able to work from home or travel if you like. Not enough employee appreciation.

Employee - Principal / Managing Director / General Manager

Overall, I liked the culture here. It is difficult to navigate because of the size but there's a lot of energy and smart people there who want to do good things.

Employee - Manager / Senior Manager

IBM is a very big company.. sometimes you are only a number.

Employee - Vice President (VP, SVP, EVP, etc.)

Great place to learn in the early years. Leadership struggles with developing/leading their teams vs. managing to a financial checklist. The age old establishment needs new blood/new thinking in order to succeed. Leadership needs to widen their internal "inner circle" in building their views vs. just trusting only their immediate direct reports who can be out of touch, self serving, or protective of what they send up.

Employee - Vice President (VP, SVP, EVP, etc.)

Lots of pride in working for this company, but there are employee concerns. Internal finance driven. Generally results oriented, with the exception of some leadership levels where weak results do not seem to make as much a difference in performance or prevent promotion. High integrity culture second to none. Leadership listening skills missing or simply not used beyond direct reports. Product and sales primary focus despite a more diverse service offering. Still learning how to focus on client/customer success first vs. financial forecast.

Employee - Vice President (VP, SVP, EVP, etc.)

Stay off the internal lists. Results are important.

Employee - Vice President (VP, SVP, EVP, etc.)

Opportunities you would not have at other tech companies to experience both large and small scale global projects.

Employee - Director

Smart people, good clients, very remote work.

Employee - Director

The company values integrity.

Employee - Manager / Senior Manager

Colleagues are strongly supportive, many friendships beyond the workplace.

Employee - Manager / Senior Manager

Needs to be less focused on process and logistics that employees do because of size of the company. Focus more on delivery than other aspects.

Employee - Manager / Senior Manager

Global player, great people to associate if you want to. Can choose between horizontal and verticals.

Employee - Manager / Senior Manager

Culture depends on the region you are assigned to.
