Working from Paying guest House:- This is only best thing I had but it depends on your manager. Teammates: Some teammates were really good and helpful.They always advised me on a pragmatic approach.
Dislikes
Career Growth: Terrible career growth, and it is not assured here.Worst managment of training.Sceptical project recruitment.Here I felt that resource management was not interested about an ordinary B.tech graduate (Non-IITians) to do a technical job.If any person is lucky enough then only they will get a technical job.In my time itwas very rare. Only IITians and NITians get good oppertunities here.Other ordinary B.Tech people here are nothing but office clerks though many of them dying to get a technical profile.No matter how much you have skills it depends on your luck. not by your performance. They judge by Brand not by material. Salary Increament: It does not depend on your performance.It depends on your good relationship with your boss. Politics:- A lot of politics here, really a lot.You may find some persons always trying to give a negetive picture of yours to your manager.Side by side they also hide there inefficiencies. Imperfect Workload Distribution:- Very few persons were doing 90% of the total load and the rest are doing 10%. Sometimes I had to work on holidays or 10-12hrs a day.Once I had to do my job even I had poor medical issues. Transport System: It is perhaps worst among all other IT industries.Much possibilities are there that you might not get it someday. So these are my remarks.I hope It wont hurt anybody.That is why I left this job and preparing for my new way of life.This Brand culture is very popular in IBM India Pvt Ltd. Conclusion:- To new IT aspirants I must say Please make sure that you get only what you love to do.Please dont let anybody to force you or deceive you with tedius job profiles. Believe it or not its up to you,but it is the truth and It all happened to me.:(:(...Read More

I didn't like the way they asked me to leave the company, without clearing anything. Not listening and forcing to work in particular technology is very rude about IBM.

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.
Dislikes
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

General policies are good. 3 days work from office, but not strictly enforced. No fixed hours to spend in office, that depends between teams. promotions and pay cycles depends on your importance and how good the team is doing in the organisation. managers are helpful and respectful towards employees in general. one have scope and opportunity to grow skills, contribute to open source, blogs, disclosures....Read More

Internal movement between teams is almost always a fight. Often people are made to work in mixed bag of tasks/technologies, that might make one a jack of all trades and makes specialisation in one/some skillset go away.
