o you always thought IBMers were
a bunch of blue striped suits
with buttoned down minds. s ,
Nothing could be further
from the truth.
They 're movers and shakers.
Eneigetic, ambitious and smart. People
who know where they're going and
get there fast. People with ideas who choose
IBM because they know their ideas will
be heard and put into action.
That's right. The winds of change are
sweeping the vast corporate infrastructure of
IBM. Today's IBM is a leaner, more streamlined
operation that reacts more quickly. We've broken
through the layers of bureaucracy to create a
company that takes more risks ... is closer to
the customer. . . and encourages IBMers to
speak up, challenge old ways of thinking
and initiate new ideas.
This is hot a company that simply rests
past successes. We're sharing our blueprint
future with both our staff and competitors.
We've become more robust,

We have our share of
technical challenges
and our share of the
right people to meet

to quality and excel

And by the way,

"At IBM I can be
a systems engineer,
marketing represen
tative, education
instructor, programmer,
engineer, specialist or
generalist. . . all with
the same company.
Where the people are
high achievers with big
dreams and tons of enthu
siasm. Where not one day
is the same as the next.
I would not change it for
anything in the world."

opportunity for exposure to multiple projects. At
IBM, no idea is too small to reach management's
ear and get quick response.
You'll have plenty of room to grow because
we're a company that promotes from within.
IBMers have the option to move from one area to
another. . .to relocate to a variety of sites . . .
and to follow a career track along purely
technical lines or into management. All the
while moving up just as fast and as far as
your talent will take you .
The thing that
gets me going
the most is the
possibilities, the
endless possibilities.
This is a company
where I can, within
reason, call my own
shots about my
future. If I want to
develop a career as
a top-level IBM
manager, I can do
that. If I want to
become an IBM
Fellow eventually, I
can make that hap
pen too. Career
development at
IBM is primarily
the responsibility of
the individual; the
manager is there to
facilitate and coun
sel. Having that
degree of control
over my own future
career is exciting."
