Working at IBM in Austin, TX: 91 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Austin, TX Area

"As you can tell from the public company literature, the direction of the company is changing more to software."

"While it may be helpful to have IBM experience listed on one's resume, I would not recommend it as a place to work for any length of time. One can find better pay, benefits, and work environment elsewhere. While it may not be the worse place to work, it is certainly not the most desired either."

"It has been both rewarding and challenging but it's been tough the last two years given the number of re organizations that they have per year. I don't see myself here in the next couple of years."

"Great place to work, you can find plenty of challenge and opportunity but you are nothing more than an entry on a spreadsheet to management."

"IBM is a great company to work for. I really had a great experience there and would recommend employment there to anyone."

"I have worked with IBM for quite some time. A good company to work for. Great ethical values. Compensation is average."

"IBM has a deep pool of incredible technical talent. At this time, however, it is also in a state of transition, which is creating a lot of chaos and confusion, and low morale."

"I have worked at IBM for 17 years. I have always been rated as a top performer by my management team. In the past 5 years the work environment at IBM has gone down hill. Hopefully after 2015, IBM can focus on being an industry leader and start treating its employees better."

"In the 12 years I was at IBM, the company changed drastically. It started with little things (no more free lunches, etc) and eventually ended with major changes (401K), which mostly affected us blue collar workers. The morale after the summer 2013 layoffs was infectious and I honestly hated going to work. I combated this by just working from home, but in the end I just saw too many people who didn't care anymore. A lot of people had and still are. I'm waiting for my severance package."

"I have worked with IBM for over 14 years and have seen the company go through many transitions. There is a lot of hype around being willing to try new things and make career changes, however, opportunities are scarce, as most hiring managers tend to place labels on people based on past experience. I have found it very difficult to move up and around the company."

"Was a dead end job from the start. No company vision for the future - excessive outsourcing. All the good people left."

"IBM is a good place to start a career, though not necessarily the best place to flourish as a mid-career professional."

"Good work life balance. Growth opportunity."

"I worked for IBM for eight years. Great overall experience with manager support and understanding."

"IBM is an excellent place to work. It provides flexibility and the freedom to work. It has been a challenge!"
