IBM Microelectronics - a great place to be from

Advisory software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Being part of the state of the art of technology development. Being on the cutting edge. People work hard and produce in this division. It's great to work with such a talented and motivated group.

Cons

Career advancement and recognition are almost non-existent relative to other divisions within IBM. Other IBM divisions are recognized for their accomplishments. RSUs, options and annual awards are the norm. These things are RARE in IBM Micro. This "other division" recognition is hard to swallow when you realize that it is your team's accomplishments that have SIGNIFICANTLY helped the other divisions succeed. An important but not immediately necessary IBM non-benefit is the lack of a retirement health plan for new employees. Plain and simple, there is none. This is a huge downside for IBM.

Good company to work for if you look at what you could be working for.

Advisory software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

It's so large there are many areas to move into if you want to grow your career. I'm working at another company now due to being a small layoff last year and I personally miss the structure. IBM had many of the processes down on how to work that many companies could learn from.

Cons

Can get lost within the corporate structure. Sometime very hard to get change through without red tape.

Pros

IBM has very diverse training available on-line. Classroom courses can be taken but travel is usually restricted so this option may not be available. The health benefits are good and vacation time and holidays are generous. There is no set number of sick days. There are numerous opportunities through the IBM Club to participate in other recreational and social activities. Many employees can work from home. One can have an office and work from home most of the time. There are sports facilities at many of the IBM plant locations for employees to use. IBM occasionally has employee social events.

Cons

Most IBM managers lack people skills and upward manage. This means the management is mostly interested in what makes them look good to their boss regardless of the negative effect it has on their team's moral or lack of any benefit to customers. The managers reward those that play the politics and appear to be supportive of them. Many of these employees have become good at this while working only a total 20 hours a week or less from home. Any employee who may suggest approaches to business objectives other than what their managers requested are thanked and then excluded from any future rewards.
