As long as you are in any project, you are treated well

Dislikes

If you are in bench, you are on your own. You have to find your own project. No support from management. Finally, golden handshake will happen, if you can't secure any project.

Over all good, it is your luck getting good project and manager. Upskill and certification is mandatory for senior resources.

Dislikes

Everything in Managers's hand. Not addressed employees concerns. You have work under shift timings though you are developer as most of the projects are US projects.

Likes

Benefits like Medical insurance and good office.

Dislikes

There is no work life balance at all. Appraisal is very less and promotion is very tough as it all depends on the manager however good you are.

No work life balance, No hikes, No promotion, micro management, No extra activities, no employee benefits. It is a waste company to work

Dislikes

poor management, Poor quality of work, bad politics, not following process, old non technical managers who r there from 20+ years and they r just relying on their technical lead, who also doesn't know how to talk and give respect to juniors, plus how to support teammates. Totally negative environment and failure management.

They considered me for H1b and filed my petition in 8 months after my joining

Dislikes

After receiving H1B they never approved my travel and you are forced to stay there for less salary. Don't take joining bonus, get maximum take home salary before joining. In percentage you will receive like 8-10 percent hike but in 3 years you will be less paid and have less knowledge as you work for some client.

Likes

The hybrid policy even before covid. So work-Life balance is there. With wide number of projects, there are ample opportunities to work. Overall culture is good.

Dislikes

Taking Leaves are a struggle here unless you support in other areas. Minimum utilization is there and thus taking leaves is a pain.

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.

Colleagues are very helpful

Dislikes

There is no proper development lifecycle. Though it is claimed they follow Agile, it is hardly the truth. Requirements come from various sources and are taken up without knowledge of prior commitments or priority making it difficult for the developers.

Likes

1. Work-Pertional life balance. 2. Your work recognition. 3. Appreciation of your work. 4. Job security. 5. Opportunity to learn and grow yourself in multiple technology and tools.

Dislikes

1. All the mentioned benefits are depending on project basis, its not a universal.

Likes

Coaching, many mentors, blue points, learning

Dislikes

Sales & Marketing team: They may hire you for a specific role, but the actual work could end up being entirely different. If you’re part of global team, achieving a work-life balance is possible, but for teams based in India, it’s much more challenging. New hires often face difficulties in being accepted in India culture especially compared to those who have been with the organisation for years, as there’s a noticeable preference for internal candidates. It can take a significant amount of time to truly feel integrated into the organisation....Read More

No doubt working with prestigious organisation like IBM is a eye catcher. Company will force you to learn anytime. So you will learn a lot through, learning assignment , free premium udemy, wfh facility.

Dislikes

Only Salary. What you get at the time of joining , will be fixed. No increment in any manner. There is no standard to that. So make sure ,you ask higher. They will deny on this but it is true. It is not Limited to me having 3 yrs in IBM but others who has 7 years too has the same issue.
