Discussions on Reddit about International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) have been focused on the company's hiring process and workplace culture. Many users expressed frustration with the lengthy and unresponsive hiring process, with one user stating, "I gave an interview FIVE WEEKS AGO and still didn't hear back anything." This sentiment was echoed by others who shared similar experiences of being "ghosted" after interviews. Some attributed these delays to internal issues, such as HR jobs being outsourced and new software rollouts, which have exacerbated existing inefficiencies.
In addition to hiring woes, there are concerns about IBM's workplace environment. One user described their team as "toxic AF," highlighting issues like blame games and undefined role expectations. Another user noted, "The team I work for is toxic AF! Everyone is out there to get you," suggesting a culture of internal competition and lack of support. However, some users pointed out that these experiences might vary across different teams within the company, with one long-term employee stating, "I have been here over 30 years and never been on a bad or toxic team."
As of the current timestamp, IBM's stock price remains unchanged at $233.49.
