Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?

Having to work remotely I was initially very concerned how it would be, however my team were incredibly welcoming and I soon felt an important part of my team, and the wider atmosphere within IBM has been incredible - I've reached out to so many people for help and advice and everyone has always spent the time to explain things to me.
