IBM Business Program Manager Reviews

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.

Bad hike percentage Some old time IBMers create a toxic culture for lateral joiners as they are paid more than the one's who have spent 10-15yrs in IBM or even more

Honestly I did not like anything in IBM. And remember IBM is a sinking ship now. It has lost all its previous glory.

Dislikes

Very toxic manager and team lead. Managers continiously demotivates you. They give negative feedback. And there is no job security nowadays. I was laid off few months after joining. Please avoid IBM i , IBM Z and IBM power system team. These teams are really bad. Apart from that , office is horrible. You will not get even tea or coffee for free. They have very less office space and they have called so many people to office. IBM ISDL gives good package but do not go with that. You need peaceful sleep, which you will not get here....Read More

IBM being an international company has good policies . And the brand value gives you so much respect in the society.

Dislikes

There are very toxic projects in IBM and once you are into it, your impression about entire company goes bad !! Also the medical insurance is not good, you will end up paying a huge premium for even 1lk coverage for your parents. Also in IBM there is no much HR point of contact, it's all your manager who will control everything, he can ruin and also grow your career in the company. I wish IBM had better HR connets...Read More

IBM is like employee friendly, where IBM will let us to learn lot many things and guide us to look forward in different technologies.

Dislikes

Once we came out of project, it's totally hard to get into new project, usually they do not have any allocation requirements.

Likes

Nothing to like. Manager dominating culture

Dislikes

Many of IBMers faces regional/language politics. One never give u a chance to grow unless it find u belong to a perticular region or language. So wouldn't recommend. Additionally very less pay and no perks. U never expect for promotion even.

Likes

IBM is very good company and will have work life balance ( and its also depands on project). Appraisals are also good (which is depends on your peoples manager). But my suggestion is go with good package yo ibm.

Dislikes

If u are having higher band it will be difficult to get projects. If u are not in project no job security.

Likes

work life balance mostly depends on project and client. I worked here for 2 clients. 1 year per client. the project with my first client did not go as expected. the senior management to blame here. hence my (and my team mates') wlb was very bad. there were weeks I even worked for 14 hours per day. work with my second client was verygood. wlb was also very good. I worked during work hours and met all the deadlines etc. comfortably....Read More
