"I've done two terms of co-op in IBM Canada Ltd. It was a wonderful experience. My supervisor there was very helpful and approachable. It was nice weather as well in Ottawa for the summer. The working environment is very inspiring and relaxing at the same time."

"I have worked for IBM Global Business Services for the past 18 months and IBM India for 6 years. I always loved working at IBM as the work culture and environment is much superior to other places I worked for. By working at IBM, you get to learn emerging technologies and work on them."

"IBM was great -- but everything changes."

What do you like about working at IBM?

"IBM had great human resources (brilliant teammates) and a fair work-life balance (most of the time)."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"When bargaining your salary -- aim high. Raises and promotions are far and few between -- and once you're on board, they make you feel you're lucky to have what you're getting."

What don't you like about working at IBM?

"Annual bonuses and cash awards became fewer and lesser, although performance improved and skill-sets grew. Some days you really didn't feel appreciated for being a team player and a top performer. The LEAN initiative managed to trim away some of our brightest people, leaving the dead wood - not the other way around."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Go back to the Lou Gerstner business model. Lou understood that IBM was all about its PEOPLE RESOURCES, not just job-cost."
