Sales & Marketing team: They may hire you for a specific role, but the actual work could end up being entirely different. If you’re part of global team, achieving a work-life balance is possible, but for teams based in India, it’s much more challenging. New hires often face difficulties in being accepted in India culture especially compared to those who have been with the organisation for years, as there’s a noticeable preference for internal candidates. It can take a significant amount of time to truly feel integrated into the organisation....Read More

It's the best company I have ever worked with. As a woman I felt very safe and respected by the colleagues and superiors too. The only company I wish to work with again.
There's nothing as such. They are bunch of professionals.

Overall good experience
Instead of having a dedicated HR person having our own senior or Project Manager as People Manager is the most ineffective way of dealing with employees' issues/concerns.

Work from home police only.
Everything is good if you have good people manager and project manager then. If you resigned IBM they will give you low performance. And in final settlement you will not get your GDP, performance bonus any extra amount. You will get only leave encashment that's it. Thank you

-Poor management -No work Life balance -Every time Management goes against IBM policies, they expect you to do overtime on regular basis and mandatory weekend working, if you standup for yourself they will humiliate you and move you to another process and same thing happens there as well.

The hire at a high salary thenk keep you on bench. Then they ask you to resign as you are on bench. Don't resign.
They don't have any project or requirement. They just hire you to fill their bench. You will get project interviews but none of them will hire you even if your interview was good. And if the interview was bad they will send that review to your WFM which they can later use to justify ending your employment.

The work life balance depends on the manager and work that you are assigned to.
There are no promotions until 3 of employment. For that again you need some industry training. After which managers will send your reference for promotion which again on account basis which can take time of a month, quarter or even a year.

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
