IBM

"At IBM, you have to take ownership of your own career. If you are someone who waits for instructions, or a big opportunity to prove yourself, this is likely not the right place. It doesn't have a great mentorship culture. However, if you are willing to take chances, and instead of waiting for the "right" opportunity, reach out to other people and create those opportunities for yourself- this is a great place! The best part is- you can literally find the one person who is the best in their industry, you can set up some time with them and learn from them- hack the learning process. Finding that person is like finding a needle in a haystack, but it can be done. Also, you will learn an incredible amount. I have been here for 2 years, and I have taught myself everything from agile development, to newest testing methodologies, to automation technologies to Blockchain- all because I just reached out to people and asked them what they did!! And did my homework on how this applies to my current role... "

"IBM has a culture of flexibility, I think this is due in large part to the fact that IBM was a trailblazer in remote work. There are high expectations but as long as you meet them, you have great flexibility in terms of where and when you work. "

"IBM is a great place for women to work. I have had incredible mentors and managers who have opened doors for me to advance. I have had the opportunity to work for different clients, in different industries, in different countries, and on very different types of projects for the entirety of the time I have been with the company. This very much fits my personality, and personal motivation to come to work each day. I love to be challenged, to have to learn on the go, and to never be sure what the next project will bring. I have thought a few times about moving in-house somewhere, but honestly, it just doesn’t appeal to me because I can’t imagine doing the same thing day in and day out! I gained so much from having hands on technology delivery experience in previous roles. "

"Fast paced, inspiring, superb career growth and terrific people to learn from - a very collaborative and supportive work environment. "

"This company is very diverse. It has a very welcoming atmosphere. Most people are open to new ideas with a few exceptions of course, as with everywhere in life."
