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

Dislikes

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.

Likes

Benefits like Medical insurance and good office.

Dislikes

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

Dislikes

No work life balance, No hikes, No promotion, micro management, No extra activities, no employee benefits. It is a waste company to work

Likes

The access to learning platforms.

Dislikes

Work life balance is terrible would be an understatement. Asked to work on every weekends even though it could have been managed on weekdays itself with proper management, sometimes even on holidays and all this without any compensation. Everyone keeps quiet about this, if you speak up, you will be highlighted. This is so worse that any other benefit pales in comparison, even a high salary.

Likes

Gets very risky for senior people of band 8 and above . Senior people are not easily allowed into billable projects which can lead to process called UTE PIP , PIP for chargeable utilisation.

I am working in IBM Security. IBM got really good work-life balance. The work hours are flexible, no one will pressurize you into doing things.

Dislikes

The hikes are not that great. Even switching projects is a very difficult. If you are a graduate hire then you must atleast work for 18 months in the initial project, no matter you are interested or not.

The worst decision in my life to choose IBM. The work environment is not good here and the worst things is the senior level people which is not supported anymore, who fire anyone without any solid reason.Ever since I left this company I am in depression.Due to this I could never join any other company again.
