Culture vibe
IBM AU has a surprisingly high Glassdoor rating (3.9) which exceeds many more "exciting" companies. The culture is stable, professional and respectful. Not a high-growth startup environment — but for engineers who want to work on genuinely interesting enterprise problems (AI, quantum computing research, hybrid cloud) without the burnout of a startup, IBM is underrated.
