Lot of Opportunity for growth if you have the right attitude & adaptability to change, can move to any role Finance, Ops, pricing internally lateral & vertical also, its a big ocean can always fit in somewhere if you have the will, Work life balance also good, Work from Home available as everyone is provided with Laptop but depending on your unit /role & manager approval. Recognizable to the employee in form of awards, points ( all depends on your management). No bell curve rating so no force rating, Lot of attention is given for training & grooming & upskilling, Flexible working hours....Read More
Salary not on par with other companies, but still you get hike yearly even thought company isn't growing yty, Not much aggressive like competitor, over period of time seniors become lethargy or don't want to move or look for change, can retire from here

Worst company to spoil your career. Pay is very low compared to the market. Poor hikes, no learning growth, worst management, worst notice period(3 months). Not on the growth side.

good salary, good learning platform like udemy business and some internal portals
Micromanagement, some managers and senior architects are working since so long 15-20 years and they don't want any fresh and skilled person to stay they are in there comfort zone, worst reality is when i resigned no hr has connected with me even after raising a ticket manager has all the power.

Great, innovation driven culture. Lots of opportunities for learning. Great ambience to work and motivating managers.
Uncertainty over job. Poor promotion culture where some of the associates get promoted easily and for others it is tough as anything. The perks too are being given that way only.

Work life balance is good and good number of projects
Salary hike and promotions are big concerns here. Managers always brings your PMR ratio and will say that you are not eligible for hike. There is no HR interaction and everything should through PM. If your PMR is greater than 1, you'll never get a hike in your lifetime. So join the company with high package and never expect any hikes further.

A hybrid work model. No need to come to the office. We can complete as many certifications as we want. No restrictions on the hours I can stay at the office. We can punch and go back home.
Favoritism is based on location. If you work with Kolkata people, they will just make use of you. They will exclusively focus on negative thoughts with you at the end of the year. Technical skills should be the basis of the rating score, not employee based location. Junior resources staff also have the rights to share feedback with their Lead or Manager to develop management strategies, so that everyone can help grow IBM more....Read More

1. IBM as a global brand and the culture truly reflects that 2. Opportunities to learn new cutting edge technology 3. Work life balance to some extent 4. Very process oriented company - so things will move slow.
1. Slow career growth as it is a big company, may old timers are there at the same designation for years 2. Minimum to no salary hike (you can't bit the inflation) 3. Sometime you will need to deal with workplace politics

I had a really good time working in IBM. I was lucky enough to get a chance to change my skillset and jump into Generative AI which is the on-going most wanted skillset and worked on really good projects. The mentors and senior management is really good to help you discover new opportunities.
The only dislike is they don't give good hikes
