IBM gives excellent opportunities and time to grow, work wise IBM is much better place compare to other companies.
Appraisal cycle and promotions, where IBM lacks.
I have enjoyed my tenure with lots of work challenges, critical clients and so my leadership who gave me good opportunities to work in different areas within IBM, for which I am thank full to my seniors and IBM.

It is a good company if you are trying to built your skills
Company Culture specially in Global Procurement is not good at all. Job insecurity and no clear vision in performance and expectation.

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.

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.

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 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

Great work culture as such Good client engagements good projects good technical learning
Bad hike percentage Some old time IBMers create a toxic culture for lateral joiners as they are paid more than the one's who have spent 10-15yrs in IBM or even more

Certification program. Their process is simple and they provide free vouchers to do various certification.
Toxic Managers and Delivery Managers. They never speak politely even during normal calls. No empowerment given to senior employees do so work on their own. No job security. If you are in bench and no project for a month even when you join immediately they ask you to forcefully resign. Mangers think they only knows everything. Delievery managers talk very rudely and literally harrass everyone. I never seen any motivation or appreciation from them in these two years. But the client I work have shared many appreciation and feedback to managers but they never reveal it. Sometimes I feel these mangers talk as they have drunken alcohol. No onsite to anyone. Just harassment....Read More

1. No monitoring on people instead allowing them to complete their work peacefully (but, few cases depending on project) 2. Location flexibility - if project location is flexible, you can work from any IBNM's location. 3. Skill development - There is so many opportunities to develop our skills through certification, free learning platforms 4. Company culture is very nice. We can feel that we are working in foreign based MNC. Good budget allocation for team outing and lunch. Continuous events and parties to engage the people....Read More
1. One and only thing is there is no project assignment system or workforce management system to assign projects based on your skills. Exception: if we have good skills and if we know how to look next assignment, there could be possibility to avoid above concern. Otherwise IBM always good choice.

I all comes down to what project you are working on. If you are a part of ISDL, yes the pay is good compared to to GBS but the skills which you develop or use in ISDL are very platform specific and little use if outside of IBM.
