Joining the hardware divisions will be short term employment as they appear to be leaving the hardware business. Joining because you want to be working for a technology company also not necessarily true anymore.

Employee - Manager / Senior Manager

Lots of different areas to work in, but movement between them has become more and more difficult

Employee - Manager / Senior Manager

Senior leadership team needs to be changed. Bring in a new CEO, federate loosely

Employee - Manager / Senior Manager

It was a great company once upon a time.

Employee - Manager / Senior Manager

Company culture that is very strong, fast paced, bleeding edge, do more with less and watch your back, you may be part of the next resource action.

Employee - Manager / Senior Manager

Should remove confusing recognition and promotion criteria and do what is right for the client like IBM used to do 15 years back

Employee - Manager / Senior Manager

Had a collaborative work culture.

Employee - Manager / Senior Manager

The only holistic company with a vision and controls hardware software services and tecchnology.

Employee - Director

Employee Friendly culture.

Employee - Manager / Senior Manager

Culture that is based on team work, respect for others, and innovation.

Employee - Manager / Senior Manager

Changes I'd make would first be respect for the individual. Cut the bureaucracy - especially relating to audit & compliance. Review & revise the management overhead. Truly innovate - don't just talk about it - don't keep clinging to other technology company's coat tails. Address the fact that people can climb the ladder and run customer-facing departments - without EVER having been in front of a customer. But the no.1 thing to change is - instead of constantly saying put the customer first - actually mean it.

Employee - Manager / Senior Manager

The culture was once paternal, but those days are long-gone. It is a look-over-the-shoulder company now. People progress who have never faced customers - and do not understand what it is to do so. And There is a culture of fear - the King Has no Clothes On - but everyone is frightened to say so. Ridiculous decisions/instructions go unchallenged. It is openly admitted by management that career progression is a thing of the past. The new 'Government Minimum' redundancy policy is the last straw.

Employee - Manager / Senior Manager

It is not at all the company it once was - and the deterioration is dramatic but ongoing. I truly loved the Company when I joined and I was extremely proud, even boastful of it. The last 10 years has seen a steady decline on almost all fronts, and unfortunately the decline is accelerating - just when you think we have hit rock bottom - the Company quickly shatters that delusion. No pay rises, bonus of less than 1%, instructions that make no sense but dare not be challenged - rule by fear! I would not let my children join.

Employee - Director

IBM is unfortunatley poorly managed. No job security. Company completely unwilling to change with the times, contrary to what they put out in the marketplace. No respect for knowledge. Promote based on who you know not what you know. Continues to layoff highly skilled resources but publically states only laying off those without the appropriate new required skillsets which is untrue. - Change management and resistance to change.

Employee - Director

Has a hostile work environment. Promotes on who you know not what you know. Poor treatment towards technical resources. Completely unwilling to accept new ideas. Stuck in old ways. Bad/unethical behavior acceptable as long as it closes business. Do not prioritize customer's needs, but always puts sales first. Too much middle management churn. Have to watch your back at all times. Worse tech company I have worked for, and I have worked for many of the largest. Mindless drones preferred.

Employee - Director

Culture is based on in fighting and politics. If you think someone is telling you the truth, think again.

Employee - Analyst / Associate

IBM should stop basing the strategy simply to cost reduction and go back to consider customer first as well as importance of ideas vs simple execution

Employee - Analyst / Associate

Hostile work environment. Promotes on who you know not what you know. Poor treatment towards technical resources. Completely unwilling to accept new ideas. Stuck in old ways.

Employee - Manager / Senior Manager

The bureaucracy here needs to be pushed out.

Employee - Manager / Senior Manager

Two most important things while working here, networking and innovation.
