Work satisfaction and good learning development.

Dislikes

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.

As long as you are in any project, you are treated well

Dislikes

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.

Colleagues are very helpful

Dislikes

There is no proper development lifecycle. Though it is claimed they follow Agile, it is hardly the truth. Requirements come from various sources and are taken up without knowledge of prior commitments or priority making it difficult for the developers.

Coaching, many mentors, blue points, learning

Dislikes

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

No doubt working with prestigious organisation like IBM is a eye catcher. Company will force you to learn anytime. So you will learn a lot through, learning assignment , free premium udemy, wfh facility.

Dislikes

Only Salary. What you get at the time of joining , will be fixed. No increment in any manner. There is no standard to that. So make sure ,you ask higher. They will deny on this but it is true. It is not Limited to me having 3 yrs in IBM but others who has 7 years too has the same issue.

Likes

Honestly I did not like anything in IBM. And remember IBM is a sinking ship now. It has lost all its previous glory.

Dislikes

Very toxic manager and team lead. Managers continiously demotivates you. They give negative feedback. And there is no job security nowadays. I was laid off few months after joining. Please avoid IBM i , IBM Z and IBM power system team. These teams are really bad. Apart from that , office is horrible. You will not get even tea or coffee for free. They have very less office space and they have called so many people to office. IBM ISDL gives good package but do not go with that. You need peaceful sleep, which you will not get here....Read More

IBM being an international company has good policies . And the brand value gives you so much respect in the society.

Dislikes

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
