November 2018
Research Scientist:
It is a good place for research work. Overall, the culture, benefits, and management is good. But as a research scientist, the salary increases slowly. It is not easy to get a faculty position in our department.
November 2018
Research Scientist:
IBM research is not the place to work if you plan to get rich. IBM pay is not competitive, and healthcare benefits are getting worse every year.
In return to mediocre pay and benefits you will have the freedom to do cutting edge science including basic research. You will work among top scientists and your race or gender will not be a factor of how people treat you. In fact IBM research is truly an international lab and we value diversity. If all you care about is science then your place is with us at IBM. But if you need to "grow up" and start a family and be financially responsible, perhaps you should consider Google or the financial industry.
