Lot of resources available for learning.
Here the list is long... 1-Your manager is the only one person you have to reach out. Guess how you are feeling if you get a dumb one or you have differences with him. 2-They have something called "Utilisation". The very method to calculate that is flawed. You have a target of 110% utilisation. If you have around 90% to 95% it effects your appraisals. The target doesn't consider 21 days of annual leave and national holidays. So to maintain your utilisation you have to work 9 hrs instead of 8 hrs. This extra one hour compensates for your paid leaves. So in actual they should not call it paid leaves but a compensatory leave as you are working 5 hrs extra every week. So by that logic there is no leave ( not even national holidays) even though the HR preaches that they have unlimited suck and casual leaves policy. 3-The appraisal process is the worst in the industry. The average salary increment is 2%. Sometimes it is null for an average rating. 4-The morale is very low....Read More

Work satisfaction and good learning development.
There won't be any promotion and hike and if an employee work with 200 %dedication ,their won't be any hike at all.I mean how employee will be motivated for the next year and finally they will leave the company.If you need any HR support or IT support,there is no helpdesk number.You have to depend on chat bot which are worst.They neva give proper reply which you really want from them.

Their work life balance is really good but their core work is not up to mark . So I will suggest look for different companies if you want to grow your learnings and career . The options for learning different tech through courses are available but the core work is not up to mark so you are hoping to learn through work is not available
Learning’s through core work is not good

Work life Balance is Good. Best Opportunity to learn new skills available in market.
Everything is in manager hand. Few managers are taking advantage of the position. You have to be managers poppet to get benefits.

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

Benefits like Medical insurance and good office.
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.

IBM provides opportunities for cross learning which is good but due to lot of work pressure you will not be able to take benefit of that
No work life balance, No hikes, No promotion, micro management, No extra activities, no employee benefits. It is a waste company to work

Company’s policies
Micro management from IBM senior manager for sbi client at belapur, no IT culture by IBM management. False commitment to client without prior technical feasibility and hence pressure on ground level resources. Mandatory weekend working, if you refuse they will threaten you.

You can easily take sick leaves.
Small term and very outdated projects. In interview even in client interview also they will ask questions like NASA but at ground level you will get work like a fresher. If you are an experienced person your all knowledge will get rusted here. And if by any chance you want to change the project. You need to face very bad politics. If you get frustrated and want to resign, you can not leave before 90 days. The buy out policy is there but your manager will not accept it....Read More

They are too flexible in terms of work, productivity matters here. No strict work from office which is great by the way.
The promotion cycle looks terrible and of course, it is a service-based company, so can't expect a huge salary hikes.

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

Only work culture is good but that will put you in their comfort zone and you will never progress professionally.
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.
