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.

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.

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..

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?

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.
