Less work
Bad culture, people stay for long term just to not work. Poor infra, they call in office even after there is no chair to seat. Others labs might be better but ISDL management is worst

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.

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

Benefits like Medical insurance and good office.
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
No work life balance, No hikes, No promotion, micro management, No extra activities, no employee benefits. It is a waste company to work

Company’s policies
Micro management from IBM senior manager for sbi client at belapur, no IT culture by IBM management. False commitment to client without prior technical feasibility and hence pressure on ground level resources. Mandatory weekend working, if you refuse they will threaten you.

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Small term and very outdated projects.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

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.

The hybrid policy even before covid. So work-Life balance is there. With wide number of projects, there are ample opportunities to work. Overall culture is good.
Taking Leaves are a struggle here unless you support in other areas. Minimum utilization is there and thus taking leaves is a pain.

Only work culture is good but that will put you in their comfort zone and you will never progress professionally.
People manager and HR are totally waste and they are never interested in your career path. You need to fight with everyone in IBM for your band progression. HR puts gun on People Manager and fires the employee. Your band progression in IBM is your worry and not your manager's worry.
