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 “entry level” 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.
