Nothing to like
Initially I was placed in banglore but it seems northees will never fit there.. people use to talk in their native language. Upon asking what was being discussed nothing was answered. Shifted to gurgaon via internal movement.. here the manager's behaviour is like a pampered kid. If he doesn't get what is required he will start misbehaving with the team. Overall a pathetic experience

Salary is decent in India Software Labs, equivalent of Tier 2 PBCs. RSUs are also given to employees who perform well. IBM has turned its tech suite around after the RedHat acquisition, even for z/mainframe products. Newer tech stack is being implemented at breakneck pace, enough to overwhelm senior developers as well. Lots of opportunities to learn new stuff, including agentic AI. Job security is better than other PBCs for employees who perform well, but expect PIPs....Read More
You will get stuck in one job band for a very long time. Promotions from 7B to 8 are very hard in particular. Also, IBM India is the only entity among all IBM entities to have A and B subbands till job level 7 (tech lead), effectively prohibiting your growth to a decision-making position for a longer time. Indian management, especially managers who have moved laterally from IBM Consulting, is extremely orthodox, and technically inept. If your product delivery is controlled by an onshore lab (U.S., U.K., Germany, etc), expect the Indian management to have no understanding of what it is that you are doing on a day-to-day basis, and to be at loggerheads with the onshore managers. You, an ordinary employee, will no doubt be caught in the crossfire....Read More

good salary, good learning platform like udemy business and some internal portals
Micromanagement, some managers and senior architects are working since so long 15-20 years and they don't want any fresh and skilled person to stay they are in there comfort zone, worst reality is when i resigned no hr has connected with me even after raising a ticket manager has all the power.

Great, innovation driven culture. Lots of opportunities for learning. Great ambience to work and motivating managers.
Uncertainty over job. Poor promotion culture where some of the associates get promoted easily and for others it is tough as anything. The perks too are being given that way only.

Lack of work life balance. It all depends on the manager you get, whether it becomes toxic or not.

Work life balance is good and good number of projects
Salary hike and promotions are big concerns here. Managers always brings your PMR ratio and will say that you are not eligible for hike. There is no HR interaction and everything should through PM. If your PMR is greater than 1, you'll never get a hike in your lifetime. So join the company with high package and never expect any hikes further.

A hybrid work model. No need to come to the office. We can complete as many certifications as we want. No restrictions on the hours I can stay at the office. We can punch and go back home.
Favoritism is based on location. If you work with Kolkata people, they will just make use of you. They will exclusively focus on negative thoughts with you at the end of the year. Technical skills should be the basis of the rating score, not employee based location. Junior resources staff also have the rights to share feedback with their Lead or Manager to develop management strategies, so that everyone can help grow IBM more....Read More

1. IBM as a global brand and the culture truly reflects that 2. Opportunities to learn new cutting edge technology 3. Work life balance to some extent 4. Very process oriented company - so things will move slow.
1. Slow career growth as it is a big company, may old timers are there at the same designation for years 2. Minimum to no salary hike (you can't bit the inflation) 3. Sometime you will need to deal with workplace politics
