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

Likes

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.

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.

Likes

If you get a good project, the clients are great. You get to interact with them on a daily basis and they are not too pushy.

Dislikes

The management 1. They give very minimal hike and during your appraisal cycle they change your PeM. The new PeM don't even know what my rating is and doesn't even discuss about it. In my 3 yrs with IBM I had discussion after I put my papers only as it coincides with Appraisal Cycle. And in 3 years I got 1 hike only. Rest of the time due to PeM change, I couldn't even know the reason for 0 hike. 2. Work Life balance - they say they have rules about having a strict work life balance. They have some unnecessary processes which take away most of your time. 3. Manager interaction - I would say 0. They have some internal politics and they just give least benifits to hardest working person. 4. Rewards and recognition - when you are doing a tough project, they will be like this guy is putting so much effort. We have to give him something and they give 1000-2000 just to motivate. Once the project is done, no appreciation, no mail mentioning the work done. Nothing 5. Retention - they do politics here as well. They told whatever you get we will match. But when I went with the request of my expectations. They didn't even bother and said maximum we can give 40%. Once you put paper don't look back. 6. GDP and PA- they have to distribute the amount within the team equally. TL is paid less than rest of the team. And most of the time it is chillar I have put in way too much work for my Hike percent. And other people who don't have skillset have reaped rewards....Read More
