I have been worked with IBM for 7 years 6 months as Tech Lead on the same designation. I have never been Promoted / Single Hike during the 7.6 years period with IBM GBS. It is a great company if you are a Secondary JOB holder in your Family Financial earners (Wife / Husband)... Not Good for Single Finacialy earner in your Family. Can work 2-3 years then Jump to the other com[anies, doesn't stay back more than 3+ if you never get any Hike / Promotion. Of course, this is my personal experience. 7 Performance cycles I was getting Solidcontributor as 2, 2+, 2 ratings (scale 1,2+,2,3,4 rating steps 1 is top and 4 is terminate) for first 3 years. and I got Check Point scale as per new process 10, 11, 10, 13 Points for another four years ( Scale rate 8 is lowest & 15 is Highest) Overall I placed in Very good performers and got 2 years Onsite Client location and Certified good performer. but IBM is not recognized with any single hikes / Band Change. This is push back of 8 years of career and I was requesting multiple times to promote me or a single hike. Performance ratings are no roles of recognition of the Payscale / Promotion in the IBM GBS. Its fully Personal Groups of Senior Managers who are under their umbrellas only can be recognized and Promoted every 2 years. mostly here Regional umbrellas loyalty with known personal people will get good recognition. the people who are in the IBM from 10+ years, 15+ years, are creating Loyal personal and Regional umbrellas to get promotions for their regional people only mostly: Kolkata & Pune in India During my 7 years, 6 months experience one, my Manager said he will nominate for the same Salary to Next Band / Promotion, I disagreed. Next time I have been nominated by another Manager to recognize for promotion but never processed and never get any Letter I waited for 3-4 months. Simply they said still HR is not approving and I Don't have any 7B projects to get that Promotion. These issues really hurt me and Resigned....Read More
