Working for IBM

[KJH]

Has anybody got any experience in working at IBM? What are they like to work for?

They have been pursuing me aggressively, made an excellent permanent offer and promised the earth.

Any thoughts?

My ex girlfriend worked for them as a PM at the Bristol office, from her experience, she was very overworked and had to meet very tight deadlines. She eventually left from too much stress. But everyone is different and her boss was a fascist to be fair.

Dear Fleetwood

I am contracting at the moment. Just wanted to know what people think about working for IBM in general.

Tnx

OK KJH,
We'll let you off.
From what I've heard of IBM, you'll be on 80 hour weeks....

I think he put that quite nicely fleetwood, i would have told you to to fckoff, but going back to that IBM , you might get lucky mate. You know how it goes. Just make sure you get a tour of the office, and if they look like a miserable bunch of cnts they probably are!!

But its our duty to pour scorn on anyone who talks about... 'the other side'.

Feck me that’s the best bit of careers advise I’ve ever had!

I had a boss once who hired and fired on the basis that if someone walked fast they were efficient and hard working, I've got to admit he was probably right.

I have heard the business consulting unit is reasonably good. It's a huge company so you might end up quite well or bad depending who will be your line managers. However, they would certainly give you lots of training and it's a great name on your CV. I am actually surprised that their permanent offer is great. i b m is on my list but I am just afraid that they don't pay that well above a certain level.
