Pros and cons
Major Account Manager (Former Employee) - Toronto, Ontario - 17 November 2023
Indeed featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedGood benefits and salary. Room for advancement. Long hours. Main complaint is they have other people in same company selling different products or services to same customer and they might tell you to back off selling your product as they want to focus on getting a different product into that customer. Pretty frustrating when you’re selling to a customer and told to stop bc they want to sell something different. Then you don’t get your commission and no apologies or compensation for it. I prefer a more medium size company.

FP&A Analyst in GTS (Pre Kyndryl)
Financial Analyst (Former Employee) - Markham, ON - 16 November 2023
I was a financial analyst in the FP&A team of GTS before it was spun off to Kyndryl. I have gained a wealth of knowledge and skills working in this place which make me really grateful. Here, i developed not just strong tech skills but also great work ethic such as continuous improvement, productivity, honesty, and integrity. Also, i was fortunate to work with the nicest and most supporting manager, KB. I left because of personal reasons. I regret it ever since - most importantly because i let her down because she needed me there when i left. I surely learn from this decision and my experience at IBM made me really strong as CPA now.

Decent Job.
Snow Removal (Former Employee) - Markham, ON - 15 November 2023
Didn't hate it. Didn't love it. Team was very supportive of me, plus they had on-site parking (not sure if that's still the case). Do not drink the coffee they supply. It's disgusting.

It a very relaxed environment depending on your division
Compiler Developer (Current Employee) - Toronto, ON - 10 October 2023
IBM in my experience is very relaxed in regards to work. It is also relatively harder to get higher band level roles as its very occupied by people who have been there for way longer.
Pros
Fun environment, free food
Cons
work load

Gret technology but everything is slow
Manager (Former Employee) - Indian Head, SK - 29 September 2023
Great technology but everything is slow, good work-life balance. Compensation is average, colleagues are highly knowledgable and helpful. Growth is slow, only happens if you know the right folks

Not bad
Consultant (Former Employee) - Montréal, QC - 26 September 2023
Not bad but high workload with unrealistic number of hours that is hard to maintain a good work life balance. I’ve been with the company for almost 3 years.

Poor culture and work environment
Managing Consultant (Former Employee) - Burnaby, BC - 22 September 2023
IBM Vancouver is not a great place to work, as you are expected to work 50-60 hrs/wk and raises are in the 2-5% range. Many of the partners are in Toronto, making it hard to get to that kevel here. Lots of travel. Great place to quiet quit.

Excellent Colleagues, unlimited access to training. Standardized approaches to working. Can be bureaucratic. Some leaders are inspirational, however some are not. Choose who you work with.
