1. No monitoring on people instead allowing them to complete their work peacefully (but, few cases depending on project) 2. Location flexibility - if project location is flexible, you can work from any IBNM's location. 3. Skill development - There is so many opportunities to develop our skills through certification, free learning platforms 4. Company culture is very nice. We can feel that we are working in foreign based MNC. Good budget allocation for team outing and lunch. Continuous events and parties to engage the people....Read More
1. One and only thing is there is no project assignment system or workforce management system to assign projects based on your skills. Exception: if we have good skills and if we know how to look next assignment, there could be possibility to avoid above concern. Otherwise IBM always good choice.

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Small term and very outdated projects.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

Good technical team at cloud A lot of learnings for new talents Expert management in reducing hikes
Unnecessary learnings throughout the year at least at cloud Appraisal on jan however hikes on July No professional growth Fixing side effects of a fix gives an impression that the talent is working consistently Bloating ones work gets attention

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.

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

Everything is good. I haven’t been through the appraisal cycle yet, but heard from the seniors that its not good . You can’t expect more than 5% hike

We can learn many things in that company as they have given free access for all learning platform. It totally depends on you how u utilise it.
I don’t have idea about other projects inside the company, but the project which I was working was a low budget project then too those managers were not living that project and it was a worst project , as I am a fresher it was not good to start Carrer like that.

They hired a particular skill but the task and work given is not relevant to your Experience. Example:- Hired as Data Analyst (SQL, PowerBi) and given the task of Java and php. Doing Huge Promises that we will give you the task and team as per your Tech/Experience. But no use. ITSR is Jail , and they don't tell at initial Stage while Joining. Playing with Employee and Their Future. for Billing

Certification program. Their process is simple and they provide free vouchers to do various certification.
Toxic Managers and Delivery Managers. They never speak politely even during normal calls. No empowerment given to senior employees do so work on their own. No job security. If you are in bench and no project for a month even when you join immediately they ask you to forcefully resign. Mangers think they only knows everything. Delievery managers talk very rudely and literally harrass everyone. I never seen any motivation or appreciation from them in these two years. But the client I work have shared many appreciation and feedback to managers but they never reveal it. Sometimes I feel these mangers talk as they have drunken alcohol. No onsite to anyone. Just harassment....Read More

Work life balance is superb. Also you apprised what you did all the time.
Promotion process is not good. If you are on higher package in your band limit then don't think about the promotion for 3-4 years.

I all comes down to what project you are working on. If you are a part of ISDL, yes the pay is good compared to to GBS but the skills which you develop or use in ISDL are very platform specific and little use if outside of IBM.
