Our software development lab - collectively known as the IBM Canada Lab - is responsible for delivering IBM software solutions that are used worldwide.

HIGHLIGHTS

IBM is the place to be. Here, you can cultivate your expertise, use your knowledge to the fullest extent, or re-invent yourself, without ever having to leave the company.

Flexible Working

IBM offers Flexible Working to its employees because it makes all round good business sense. The ability to work longer hours some days, shorter hours others; the ability to work from home or an IBM location nearer to home, means you can better balance the demands of your job with your interests and home life.

A company you can be proud of

We're not only leading the way in developing green technology, but leading a revolution in corporate responsibility - and citizenship. Our employees have dedicated over eight million hours through our award-winning Corporate Service Corps global volunteer program.

The On-Demand Community - IBM's on-line volunteering community will match volunteers with community projects and rewards volunteer hours with funds or technology donations to people's chosen charities.

A diverse company

We have created a workplace that includes everyone and excludes no one. Simply put, IBM wants the best-qualified people the world has to offer. So by design, not mandate, ours is a culture of inclusion. We recognize that in order to foster diversity we need and want to create a work environment where all employees can realize their full potential. IBM provides ongoing education, diverse mentoring and networking opportunities, flexible work options, and accommodation in the workplace.

Build the Career YOU want

Employees at IBM are encouraged to take control of their own skills and development and learn to identify resources, build relationships and use personalized learning to their advantage. With the support and tremendous investment that IBM has put forth in continuous, on-demand learning, employees have a plethora of learning offerings and resources to help grow their career. On average, every IBM employee takes advantage of more than 60 hours of training a year.
