Overall it's a good company to work for. It is totally employee centric. The best thing about IBM is its flexibility i.e. choose whether to work from office or home. Work life balance depends upon the project. IBM provides ample resources to re skill and align yourself to the market standards

Dislikes

There are not much cons if other benefits are considered. However in my job span I can come up with the below cons Extremely low salary hike Promotion to the next level is difficult

Over all its a good place to work , learn and grow technically. Exposure to real time projects is a bit less. Facilities/platform are way good for learning any technology. Job security is also high as it have a lot of projects with it. And internal projects are always there so you don't have to worry about your job 🤪 Only at compensation it's poor it's not upto the mark as per market standards...Read More

Management issues w.r.t employees on transparency regarding oppertunities or promotion.

At IBM, we are provided with ample opportunities to learn technologies and grow technically, which in turn helps in retaining job. The work culture is quite good, you get to interact with a lot of mentors, and to learn from them. There are amazing opportunities for innovation and research as well. They provide shift compensation. The vacation policies are real good, which helps to maintain a work-life balance. You already know the place you're working in is good if the manager don't ask you why when you ask for leave. IBM is the place for you....Read More

The salary appraisal is definitely an issue. It all depends on manager, no say of HR.

There are lot of learning opportunities which i like the most. Worklife balance is there. Mostly people are helpful. WFH facility for few days was there before covid as well, which i think little helpful for family persons.

Dislikes

The utilization theory is really bad, in a year if someone is taking leaves more that 10 days it will seriously affect utilization, though total leaves are 22 days which someone cannot take. And sometimes compensation is not at all good. For promotion you have to run after the managers.

Work Life balance is Excellent . There are a lot of consideration for women employees, specially regarding timings and flexibility regarding traveling . Company Policies is fare and unbiased. You will get a lot chances for learning. There are many sites that are available and IBM there are many opportunities to learn and grow.

Dislikes

Salary / appraisal is very bad. The package you will enter in , it will be same through out , which will become very less compare to market rate.Even promotions would not be able to makeup the gap. The learning and working with different project will only take your free times but it is not easy to get any monetary benefits from thistype of projects. Even if you get best rating for your work last year, you may or may not get hike as you expect . May be other people from different project with average rating will get more, as the hike ration is not fixed , depends on you project specific cases. Variable pay also very less generally it does not come ....Read More
