For 25 years, starting in 1960, IBM represented the epitome of what American companies should aspire to. Quality, service, innovation. That was the view from the outside.
From the inside, as a worker, you had an even greater respect for the company. It felt like a family environment—full of respect for every employee, a focus on helping our customers any way we could and a single-minded determination to be the best we could be in everything we touched.
The campus had a college-like feeling to it—a place where you enjoyed going and felt valued. Management was highly supportive and involved with each employee.
Our function and structure were designed, so that we always had each other’s backs—and we had the customers’ backs too, no matter what problem or situation came up.
