What benefits does IBM provide?

Top Employee Response

IBM has a generous 401k plan compared to most companies, matching 100% up to 5% of pay, with a 1% automatic contribution. Last I compared with friends, it is more generous than Google and Apple. The 401k accounts offer index funds with extremely low fees (e.g. ~0.09% range). On the high deductible health plan, IBM funds a health savings account with up to $1600 cash for a family or $800 for an individual, and pays the empoyee's health premium. Leave starts at 15 days vacation plus 12 holidays (5 floating) for 27 days off - a month! Sick leave is very generous with up to 13 *weeks* at full pay and 13 more at partial pay. One often overlooked benefit is ibm's employee discount program. It's easy to get up to 20% off at cell phone companies, electronics stores, hotels, rental cars, etc. even for personal use. I love their contracted rate for minivan rentals which is usually about $250/week or about 75% less than the usury the rental car company charges at regular price

Remote work. Opportunities to grow in a huge variety of different job types, clients and roles within the High-Tech industry. Nice open-office layout, great benefits, and very diversity-friendly environment.
