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.

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.

Work balance is good and learning sources are good
The promotion process lacks clarity, with managers often using persuasive tactics to delay promised timelines, leading to employee demotivation and eventual attrition.

IBM being an international company has good policies . And the brand value gives you so much respect in the society.
There are very toxic projects in IBM and once you are into it, your impression about entire company goes bad !! Also the medical insurance is not good, you will end up paying a huge premium for even 1lk coverage for your parents. Also in IBM there is no much HR point of contact, it's all your manager who will control everything, he can ruin and also grow your career in the company. I wish IBM had better HR connets...Read More

IBM is like employee friendly, where IBM will let us to learn lot many things and guide us to look forward in different technologies.
Once we came out of project, it's totally hard to get into new project, usually they do not have any allocation requirements.

Nothing to like. Manager dominating culture
Many of IBMers faces regional/language politics. One never give u a chance to grow unless it find u belong to a perticular region or language. So wouldn't recommend. Additionally very less pay and no perks. U never expect for promotion even.

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.

work life balance mostly depends on project and client. I worked here for 2 clients. 1 year per client. the project with my first client did not go as expected. the senior management to blame here. hence my (and my team mates') wlb was very bad. there were weeks I even worked for 14 hours per day. work with my second client was verygood. wlb was also very good. I worked during work hours and met all the deadlines etc. comfortably....Read More
hikes were not given as per times. you have to find projects on your own. (there will be forums etc. tho)

IBM is good at work-life balance after working more than 7 years in IBM one thing I can say one will find very rare work place where people will not say anything once job is done , if any one can do their job none will tell anything.
Promotion and appraisal process , one should get judged by his/her work not the relationship having between manager and reportee, relationship has to be good with all but it should not be the only criteria for getting promotion and appraisal. It was really tough for me to leave IBM as it's my dream company since college time I left IBM because of manager.

Amazing work life balance and great culture. Work is challenging and there is a recent shift to product oriented work rather than traditional services and consulting approach
Not much yet, but I hear appraisals could be better
