"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."

Working at IBM in Seattle, WA: 8 Employee Reviews

IBM Employee

in Seattle, WA

"I've been working for IBM India for past 3 yrs. It's really a good company to work for and do a lot, but there are few teams where you won't get a chance to learn a lot and do well. We have to go out of the way to learn and develop ourselves which is not a fair play inside the organization. Over all IBM is a good company to work for but the management should give more liberty to allow people expand their area of expertise."
