Locations and presence

IBM operates globally with offices and client sites across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and other regions, with headquarters in Armonk, New York.

Palpable Score

72.1
/ 100
IBM is a strong early-career option for people who want multiple entry doors, because IBM runs internships, apprenticeships, and named entry-level programmes alongside โ€œentry levelโ€ job hiring. IBM is also more transparent than many large tech employers about the steps in the hiring process and how assessments work, including accommodations and asking for feedback. The main constraints are uneven pay transparency by country and role, plus limited public outcome data (conversion rates, promotion timelines) for early-career cohorts.
