Pros

This review is for IBM Canada. Workplace is very laid back. People come in at 8:30 in the morning and leave around 4:30 in the afternoon, and even earlier if the boss leaves early. Everyone has his/her own little office and there is very little supervision as long as one finishes his/her assigned tasks on time.

Cons

Not a highly intellectual environment. The work itself was bland and there was no strong motivation to really work hard and achieve something. Communication between coworkers was limited, as people tend to stay in their own offices.

Pros

Great people, good atmosphere. Lots of things to learn if you will. Access to newest hardware and software. Fine location within Cracow.

Cons

Management is reluctant to any change. Achievements besides patents and disclosures are not recognized and appreciated. Clouded rules of evaluation - you can become "low performer" just because. No coffee.
