IBM Senior Solution Architect Reviews

Likes

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.

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.

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 hike no appraisal only work pressure. Avg 2% hike u will get if you don't want to ruin your career join some other company or if joining ibm leave this just after 1 yr if you want your financial growth.

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

IBM is like employee friendly, where IBM will let us to learn lot many things and guide us to look forward in different technologies.

Dislikes

Once we came out of project, it's totally hard to get into new project, usually they do not have any allocation requirements.

Likes

Nothing to like. Manager dominating culture

Dislikes

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.
