Working at IBM: Top 5 WORST Employee Reviews 😲

IBM is a company to work at for 1-2 years as a stop gap and nothing more. Definitely a sinking ship and I could see that 15-20 years ago when I worked there. When I left in 2009 they deemed my junior colleagues who were on $50k to be 'professional' and therefore any out of hours work and oncall was to be unpaid and there was a lot of work. Even back then just penny pinching - I remember a bunch of employees won a court case for unpaid overtime, the next week after the decision IBM cut their salaries by 20% to be in line with market averages or some BS like that. If you work in the out sourcing arm it's even worse...I know an engineer who had no raise (not even inflation) for 13 years before they laid him off. Kind of his own fault for staying so long but he was one of those proud guys who'd say "I'm an IBMer!". For those (in the west) who think IBM is a decent company, go and work for someone else and you'll see how badly you're treated and paid. Every person from every division (sales, R&D, outsourcing, AI etc.) are paid worse than tech and non tech companies.

IBM is the worst company I have work for in my life, perhaps, it was due to the mediocre project manager I had to report to

I’m a new IBMer, who joined 6 months back. Sad to hear about the complaints in this video, but I got a fantastic hike after switching to IBM and the work life balance is not bad as well. Let’s see how things go along in future.

You can say this about all the old large companies AT&T, Oracle etc lol Just get your paycheck and enjoy your life there’s no perfect company.

My nephew has been with IBM for 20 years and seems to be doing very good financially. He’s now director of software development. Is this a middle or upper management ? I’m thinking that this is some type of management position? After years of working in the corporate world myself I see corporate managers as nothing but narcissists and psychopaths. And that is who make it into management. Even if you weren’t one how could one stand working with these types? Am I right? Could my nephew be one? Please respond anyone who knows IBM and their positions!

I worked there in the late 70's. IBM is a Patriarch. You have to know the right people and have the right look in order to succeed there. Female managers that I was aware of were promoted by a male that made them their flying monkey. Majority of the females were masculine, angry and mean. I hated it there I lasted 10 years and quit. Found a better company to work for. Come 1996 the majority of the people I worked with where laid off. I was gainfully employed also working in Europe. The company has declined over the years. It got what it deserved.

Well im an IBMer and i feel video is focused on handful of cony comments, i feel very much exaggerated...
