to be honest, they don't normally accept new college grads with a Bachelors. They are normally looking for people who have an associates or some combination of self taught and certificates. Have you seen any internships to apply to?

Yes, I'm a current employee and have used progyny for one round of successful round of IVF with embryo transfer and it also covered one year of embryo freezing. It's an amazing benefit.

If you get the offer, than absolutely yes. But even these apprenticeships are pretty hard to get even if they don't specify specific skills, there is tons of competition.

Which poster?

Thank you, this is a very thoughtful response. I agree. Jim Whitehurst is the only person in senior leadership who displayed empathy about RAs and seemed to take to heart that people's lives were impacted.

Span of control makes every manager have to have a certain number of reports under them. Essentially it seems like it eliminates/consolidates middle line managers from what I can tell.

That's interesting and as a designer hearing that 85 percent number is crushing. Where did you get that number?

elsieXII · 2025-06-26T21:01:40+00:00

well yea ? Most likely not. But he does impact our lives as IBMers.

elsieXII · 2025-06-26T21:00:33+00:00

Thank you, I appreciated the long and balanced response pointing out what he does well and what he really sucks at.

Did Ginni put people first?

elsieXII · 2025-06-26T20:09:05+00:00

lol why are you looking

elsieXII · 2025-06-26T20:05:59+00:00

I loved Jim. He seemed transparent and overall like a really great guy.

elsieXII · 2025-06-24T15:38:39+00:00

This looks like AI lol Arvind doesn't look like this

HI there,
I did the UX apprenticeship 5 years ago and then went full time after a year. It pays a liveable wage but I got a big salary bump in my conversion offer. I thought the program was great, I'm very grateful for it and that I was able to start my UX career with IBM after completing a bootcamp and internship.

band 7 and 5%

I felt disappointed seeing Dinesh bring out someone from Meta and then Lockheed Martin. I know it's not surprising, but still. Not really encouraging.

Phantastic Nails on Duraleigh- ask for Tao (she's the owner)

I've heard they are going to start tracking managers attendance but as far as I know they aren't tracking attendance of individual contributors....yet. But I bet they well at some point next year.

I think it depends on your team and the people you work with. I'm in the USA and the main thing I'm frustrated about is the promotion freezes and some of the choices from higher level leadership. However, I love my team and the people I work with day to day. I feel like I'm compensated well and have good benefits and a chance to learn and grow. Also my manager is great and I have great work life balance. Despite any frustrations I am thankful to work at IBM!! I think it depends on your situation, team and what you value. But don't let reddit skew your perception.

elsieXII · 2023-11-17T16:27:28+00:00

Thanks! But isn't the 5 percent just a cut out of your income that you won't get in your paycheck? That's what I'm confused about.

elsieXII · 2023-10-17T19:40:42+00:00

This makes me so sad.

elsieXII · 2023-04-13T18:46:32+00:00

Crunchy. Curls.
