Pros
I had a great team and a great manager which made my experience at IBM very positive for the most part despite constant internal churn with reorganizations, leadership changes and compensations issues. However, after my departure I would not recommend working at IBM.
Cons
I left to take an opportunity outside of IBM in February of 2022. I had overall great experience working at IBM over my 3 years at the Company. Upon putting in my two weeks I was immediately notified with 1 hour that it would be my last day. I had ended the previous fiscal year FY 2021 at 176% of my sales quota. After waiting 6 plus months to receive payment of my commissions I was notified that I would not be compensated for any of the deals that closed in Q4 of FY'21 I was eliminated from the payment sales pool from one of my deals. The IBM team justified that because I was no longer working at the company in FY'22 I did not deserve to be compensated as part of the team. The deal was closed in December of 2021. On another deal, again, the IBM team justified that because I no longer work at IBM and I did not sign a quota for FY'22 that I am not entitled to compensation under the FY'21 compensation plan which I did sign. IBM is notorious for setting up Sales Plans and not compensating its Sales Team in a fair manner. In addition, IBM does not pay on time. IBMer's are still waiting to be compensated for December 2021 commissions.
