IBM Associate Director Reviews

Likes

Likes - Advocates skill development through learning, unlearning and relearning approaches. Process oriented to ensure robust governance at all levels. Leave policies better than other top MNCs.

Dislikes

HR roles and responsibilities and their visibility could be better. Flexibility in office hours results in odd timming for employees who have family responsibilities, and by and large is at the hands of your reporting manager. 75% of the large accounts and associated project work is US and UK based, consequently employee end up working at odd hours, thereby taking dents at work life balance. Annual increments could be rationalized to match industry standards, salary disparity for an employee at 'a' position with similar skills and industry demand is wide, and often snubbed without a logical correction in compensation slabs for the position....Read More

Only work culture is good but that will put you in their comfort zone and you will never progress professionally.

Dislikes

People manager and HR are totally waste and they are never interested in your career path. You need to fight with everyone in IBM for your band progression. HR puts gun on People Manager and fires the employee. Your band progression in IBM is your worry and not your manager's worry.

Likes

Work satisfaction and good learning development.

Dislikes

There won't be any promotion and hike and if an employee work with 200 %dedication ,their won't be any hike at all.I mean how employee will be motivated for the next year and finally they will leave the company.If you need any HR support or IT support,there is no helpdesk number.You have to depend on chat bot which are worst.They neva give proper reply which you really want from them.

Likes

It's good company to have flexible working hours and job security is there.

Dislikes

There is no HR in IBM and employees don't even know who is their HR. It's manager driven company and we don't get much hikes and promotion process is very slow.

The hire at a high salary thenk keep you on bench. Then they ask you to resign as you are on bench. Don't resign.

Dislikes

They don't have any project or requirement. They just hire you to fill their bench. You will get project interviews but none of them will hire you even if your interview was good. And if the interview was bad they will send that review to your WFM which they can later use to justify ending your employment.

The work life balance depends on the manager and work that you are assigned to.

Dislikes

There are no promotions until 3 of employment. For that again you need some industry training. After which managers will send your reference for promotion which again on account basis which can take time of a month, quarter or even a year.
