IBM Software Development Engineer II Reviews

Likes

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.

IBM is very good company and will have work life balance ( and its also depands on project). Appraisals are also good (which is depends on your peoples manager). But my suggestion is go with good package yo ibm.

Dislikes

If u are having higher band it will be difficult to get projects. If u are not in project no job security.

This company is worst. They remove the employees ruthlessly after 2 months bench.they don't have projects. Recruiting more people and layoff more. No.1 is layoffs. Worst company

Their work life balance is really good but their core work is not up to mark . So I will suggest look for different companies if you want to grow your learnings and career . The options for learning different tech through courses are available but the core work is not up to mark so you are hoping to learn through work is not available

Dislikes

Learning’s through core work is not good

IBM is a liberal company. You have to complete your work in the given time frame that's it. When you are coming and going that doesn't matter actually.

Dislikes

The increment process is very bad.

Dislikes

Completely depends on the project and people think of you as a machine. If you work hard they give you more work and at the time of appraisal they give you nothing standard 5-10% hike to all.

Only work culture is good but that will put you in their comfort zone and you will never progress professionally.

Dislikes

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.

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.

Likes

1. Work-Pertional life balance. 2. Your work recognition. 3. Appreciation of your work. 4. Job security. 5. Opportunity to learn and grow yourself in multiple technology and tools.

1. All the mentioned benefits are depending on project basis, its not a universal.

Likes

Lot of projects available to engage people. More Onsite opportunity .

Skills are under utilized due to project pressure. Salary is low compared to market standard and appraisal takes lot of time. Insurance policy is poor.

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.

Dislikes

No appraisal no salary hike no band promotion, new joini will get salary more than you. No manager support, internal politics is also.

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.
