IBM nailed it. When I joined IBM, I experienced what it means to become an IBMer. The culture becomes part of you. It becomes part of the way you think. It is a huge corporation with thousands of employees but somehow the culture still permeates everywhere and everybody knows how to get stuff done. The process is documented somewhere but you hardly have to look at it. People already follow the process naturally. It is second nature.

Unfortunately, when I worked there many years ago, I was only an intern. It was my first job and I simply assumed ever other place was like this as well. I have never found another place like this.
