Hello,

Anyone working in IBM here?

Is it good working at IBM? People make jokes like "don't join IBM" or "good luck" is it for real?
Something wrong with IBM?

I'm just looking at a junior position at Plaza IBM, but the vague feedback from people is worrying.

You get the offer?

Don't listen to those people.

If you can join IBM, you are lucky.

just go bro, a good start why listen to others when its you that decides what you want in life

go sajala, why must you bother worried about what people think and talked?? you is the person that do the work, not them..

I was lucky enough to explore the IBM environment for approximately 2 months. And I knew what was going on in IBM. Yup, IBM was a shared service center which incorporates the business around the world. Based on the large scope that is handled by IBM Malaysia, the work hour is tough sometimes. OT is unavoidable, sometimes it may work for whole day and night depends on the nature and volume of job.

at these tough economic times, getting a job in a mnc is considered good.
if you have the offer, do go for it!

Depending on what you're looking for and what you're expecting out from the position you're seeking. Some positions are real tough/mundane, etc..

IBM good to work.. But for increment good luck to you....

Thanks for replies.
Seems like not too bad.

Am currently working in IBM and what I enjoy the most would be the
1. Flexibility - If I work late last night, I'll probably go into office later than usual the next day; Work from home. (This would have to be discussed with your manager)
2. Role Change - Change to a different role/position around every 2 years so you can break routine and learn new things
3. Global exposure - Can deal with people from different countries and seniority; It's interesting to see how they sometimes view things differently from us.

Depending on which department you're in , culture might differ a bit.
Fresh grad pay wise, I wouldn't say its that great or that bad as well if I compare with other companies outside.

Is it all it-related jobs?

Not necessary if you're located at Plaza IBM. But outside plaza, most positions are IT related and technical.

May i know how much for the increment?

because planning to join IBM.

thanks

Can I know what is your applied position?

I have not applied yet. because IBM have two branch right? one utama and cyberjaya.

just planning to apply~

why? any good position to recommend? hehehehe....

Just apply and get interview and finally get the offer. You can decide at the end.

If you are fresh graduate, just get the experience first. Normally, after working for 5 years, you can see a big jump in your salary.

i believe ibm malaysia is in 1u and ibm shared service is based in cj.
go for ibm in 1u, the perks should be better.

im working in ibm cyberjaya. depends on what u want and archieve in ur career life.

Actually there have 3, another will be located at First Avenue
