it provides platform to show your expertise, your skill, Your suggestion and feedback in terms of better quality, process improvement is taken seriously by the higher management that is best part of it. Sky is the limit here. Whatever I learnt in software development process and its lifecycle was becuase of IBM global. I was highlylucky to report to a leadership who was not only an able manager but had huge technical expertise and domain knowledge. Her was way of communication and control over each project was just amazing. At the same time, whatever little good work we do she will keep motivating us, send an appreciation to make us more visible and we in turns feel more responsible to do better than what we have achieved so far. In time of challenges, something getting out ouf our control, she will make us to relax and then give us a guidance and easy solution. Not only about her, from program Manager till DPEs in IBM all were very very supportive in terms of carrying out my responsibility. To manage dependencies, to mitigate risk, were all some of the few things I learnt through them.You can gain good technical knowledge on artificial intelligence and Watson....Read More
Since my project was through time and material hence survival here was the toughest challenge. We survived through billing every month. We could only bill if we have enough project in hand which was not the case in third and specially the last quarter of the year. Our US based Telephone service provider client started holding many projects even in early 2017 from Feb and March onwards, since it was merging with another company. Later on came to know in 2018, it has been able to complete it merger hopefully it swings back to IBM with higher volume of projects. Few big projects and even prestigious, complex and high challenging projects for IBM through this client were put on hold just because client feel short of funding. It directly impacts employees where we were either to move out to different vertical in different account , or to be on bench for 45 days or so or to exit the company. I Hope if management can take this on a strong note and really care for people whom feel are performing....Read More
Very Very Exciting. Each day was a learning for me. My learning curve really boosted up within short time. Each day was challenging. AS Project Manager, one will have full empowerment and command and can steer in the best interest of the project.

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.

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

As long as you are in any project, you are treated well
If you are in bench, you are on your own. You have to find your own project. No support from management. Finally, golden handshake will happen, if you can't secure any project.

It's good company to have flexible working hours and job security is there.
There is no HR in IBM and employees don't even know who is their HR. It's manager driven company and we don't get much hikes and promotion process is very slow.

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

I had a really good time working in IBM. I was lucky enough to get a chance to change my skillset and jump into Generative AI which is the on-going most wanted skillset and worked on really good projects. The mentors and senior management is really good to help you discover new opportunities.
The only dislike is they don't give good hikes

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.

Good opportunity for learning
Company is filled with people born and brought at the same organization, with zero respect for anyone else. Most of them are like self proclaimed heroes and have a bad attitude. Pro tip. Most of the people can be categorized under the header "topper's syndrome", if you google the symptoms of the disease

Liked initially about the work life balance and quality work but it lasted for few months.
Extremely manager centric company, no visibility for good work, no hike no promotion for many many years, and recently company culture in many specific teams got extremely toxic.

Good Work, Get opportunities to develop new skills.
From past few years, They are blindly maintaining only attendance, without thinking its impact. Anyone is coming on any day. There is no team bonding as no one following the same day or atleast they should have 5 days compulsory in every month for one team, which will make them to know who all are there in the team. Mangers will give bad ratings if your attendance is not good. You work is secondary these days....Read More
