The world is at a major turning point: technology is enabling entirely new forms of business operations, business models, industries and outcomes. At IBM, you can invent things you've never thought possible, lead in this new era of technology, and solve some of the world's most challenging problems.
This is our vision for the future, our belief in the rise of you. Do your best work ever, and let's put smart to work.
Today and every day, we create a staggering amount of information: formulas, tweets, field notes, legal opinions, photos and more. But the programmable computers of the past couldn’t make sense of all that information. Cognitive systems like IBM Watson can. It lets us do things we’ve never done before. Outsmart obstacles. Spot diseases before patients display symptoms. Predict trends before they’re trending. Answer questions before they’re asked.
At IBM you really do have the opportunity to change the way the world works. See how you can put smart to work.

Individuals with Disabilities
IBM's long-standing commitment to people with disabilities began in 1914 when IBM hired its first disabled employee, 76 years before the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). A number of first-of-a-kind technology innovations that transformed the assistive technology landscape and provided people with disabilities with unprecedented access to technology, resulted from IBM’s early and often pioneering efforts. Among these innovations were the first Braille printer (1975), a talking typewriter for people who are blind (1980) and a talking display terminal (1981).

What’s it really like?
Hear from some of our own graduates and interns, from across the globe, on why they love working at IBM….
Ik heb een voltijdbaan bij IBM (Langer dan 3 jaar)
Pluspunten
Internationaal, innovatief, daadkrachtig, mobiel werken heel goed geregeld
Minpunten
Bureaucratisch, soms wat onpersoonlijk, veel overhead
Advies aan management
Durf overhead aan te pakken (teveel VP’s met weinig toegevoegde waarde)

Sollicitatie
Ik heb online gesolliciteerd. De procedure duurde meer dan 3 maanden. Ik heb gesolliciteerd bij IBM (Amsterdam) in juni 2010.
Sollicitatiegesprek
De sollicitatieprocedure was om verschillende redenen een verschrikkelijke ervaring:
- De lengte van de procedure was 3 maanden, en dat vond mijn manager vrij snel.
- Er waren tussen het eerste en het laatste gesprek veranderingen aan de arbeidsvoorwaarden (het voordelenpakket), waardoor ik op het laatste gesprek opnieuw over het pakket moest onderhandelen.
- De HR- (wervings-)mensen waren zeer inflexibel.
Sollicitatievragen
Onderhandeling
Zeer weinig ruimte om te onderhandelen, HR was zeer inflexibel en leek zelfs vijandig tegenover mij als kandidaat. De bedrijfsleider die mij inhuurde voor zijn team moest overal de scherpe kantjes afhalen om dit pijnlijke proces tot een goed einde te brengen. Maar als je deze fase doorkomt, is het de moeite waard.
