Lot of learning opportunities and initiatives by the company. Work life balance is good based on the projects you work on. There is no work timings, just complete the work assigned and none bothers you. Great co workers, very helpful.

Dislikes
Recognition and rewards are very bad here. Salary hikes are bad and the yearly bonus are the worst. IBM takes half yearly feedbacks on the performance, but it is not taken into consideration. Whatever you work or how many projects you take and deliver quality work managers just give you one liner feedback. It is driven by managers. It is very important for a company to make their employees feel good.
