There is not much to like it here in GTS.You ll have immense work if you are capable with no financial growth.
There is nothing much to like.So IBM sets an example in poor employee care.

Working at IBM was a good experience as the company really provides Job security and has various opportunities to grow and explore our career in large varity of opportunities provided by this mega plateform of services.
The only and improtant aspect of working is for earning money and expecting increase of compensation in every financial year is not a very good experience working with IBM, however wages are biggest challenge in IBM its very difficult to get appraisal every year in IBM.

I take pride that I am part of IBM. It's a brand that has been contibuting for the society with new technologies/ patents every year. It's a huge organisation that has shown resilience and bounced back into competition. Its size and complex internal process makes it a bit sluggish to maneuver the sharp bends introduced by fast changing consumer needs and emerging trends. However, what makes it so special is that it's still a leader in innovation and introducing new technologies which other companies leverage to build their products on. It's a process driven and employee centric organisation. Work culture of IBM is awesome, its all based on trust. No other organisation as per my knowledge trusts its employees as much as my IBM. IBM invest a lot in training and development. After joining IBM I have completed ITIL Foundation, ITIL Intermediate, ISO Auditor, Agile, Data Science training and certification. Its just in a span of 5 years, which I could not do in my previous 12 years of career with Dell and DRDO. Since it's a process driven organisation, its ethically very strong. It has very strong compliance and security processes....Read More
Too much into process. These process has multiple approval layers. Things that should take a few hours goes on for few days. Because of its size, any new change takes longer to implement. And again due to its massive size and hierarchal/ matrix structure transparancy takes a beating. IBM lately began working on few initiatives to increase employee salary structure.
I am a Service Delivery Leader with GTS, DWS - service desk operations. I manage operations of 9 customers in financial, industrial, retail, transportation sector supported by a team of ~300FTE working from Bangalore and Hyderabad.

Likes - Advocates skill development through learning, unlearning and relearning approaches. Process oriented to ensure robust governance at all levels. Leave policies better than other top MNCs.
HR roles and responsibilities and their visibility could be better. Flexibility in office hours results in odd timming for employees who have family responsibilities, and by and large is at the hands of your reporting manager. 75% of the large accounts and associated project work is US and UK based, consequently employee end up working at odd hours, thereby taking dents at work life balance. Annual increments could be rationalized to match industry standards, salary disparity for an employee at 'a' position with similar skills and industry demand is wide, and often snubbed without a logical correction in compensation slabs for the position....Read More

Nothing to like
Initially I was placed in banglore but it seems northees will never fit there.. people use to talk in their native language. Upon asking what was being discussed nothing was answered. Shifted to gurgaon via internal movement.. here the manager's behaviour is like a pampered kid. If he doesn't get what is required he will start misbehaving with the team. Overall a pathetic experience

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.

There is nothing in this company that is worth liking
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.

Nothing I liked. The leaders in Bangalore especially Q2C team follow bad practices by promoting their family members, relatives. The leaders or Managers don't follow ethics. IBM is a great company but leaders or managers in Q2C are very bad

General policies are good. 3 days work from office, but not strictly enforced. No fixed hours to spend in office, that depends between teams. promotions and pay cycles depends on your importance and how good the team is doing in the organisation. managers are helpful and respectful towards employees in general. one have scope and opportunity to grow skills, contribute to open source, blogs, disclosures....Read More
Internal movement between teams is almost always a fight. Often people are made to work in mixed bag of tasks/technologies, that might make one a jack of all trades and makes specialisation in one/some skillset go away.

Good opportunity for learning
Company is filled with people born and brought at the same organization, with zero respect for anyone else. Most of them are like self proclaimed heroes and have a bad attitude. Pro tip. Most of the people can be categorized under the header "topper's syndrome", if you google the symptoms of the disease

Good Work, Get opportunities to develop new skills.
From past few years, They are blindly maintaining only attendance, without thinking its impact. Anyone is coming on any day. There is no team bonding as no one following the same day or atleast they should have 5 days compulsory in every month for one team, which will make them to know who all are there in the team. Mangers will give bad ratings if your attendance is not good. You work is secondary these days....Read More
