In my experience,talent never promoted and appreciated in IBM India .most of people work for upline manager rather then client . All manager are created an ecosystem so that they can easily servive in th chain and their only focus is served the upline manager
Work culture ,noone care for project delivery and all are busy in impressing their upline manager

I enjoy the policies of the company specially unlimited sick leaves, no recording of hours present in office and flexibility. Lot of focus on skill development.
Getting a promotion depends on how lucky you are to get a good manager. Your career in IBM depends on your people manager and most managers do not deserve to be in management. Not challenging work.

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.

Nothing as such, it was good company earlier but now.
No good projects in IBM Consulting, all are support projects. If you don't get project with in 2 months, then you are fired(forcefully resignation). Also without PR it's difficult to get project. For everything management will threat to put you in PIP. No salary hike.

Over all good, it is your luck getting good project and manager. Upskill and certification is mandatory for senior resources.
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.

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.

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

flexibility of working hours, Leave management
poor management, Poor quality of work, bad politics, not following process, old non technical managers who r there from 20+ years and they r just relying on their technical lead, who also doesn't know how to talk and give respect to juniors, plus how to support teammates. Totally negative environment and failure management.

They considered me for H1b and filed my petition in 8 months after my joining
After receiving H1B they never approved my travel and you are forced to stay there for less salary. Don't take joining bonus, get maximum take home salary before joining. In percentage you will receive like 8-10 percent hike but in 3 years you will be less paid and have less knowledge as you work for some client.

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.

Before you join IBM please make sure you are assigned to the right project. if not assigned to the project they will lay off
Everything. No guidance. No one will assist for if you have any doubts. Please don't join if you are not assigned bto the project. These people simply schedule client interviews. When you fail to answer one or two questions, they give negative feedback. They use these negative feedback to terminate you. Please be sure that you are assigned to the project before you join IBM

Company’s policies
Micro management from IBM senior manager for sbi client at belapur, no IT culture by IBM management. False commitment to client without prior technical feasibility and hence pressure on ground level resources. Mandatory weekend working, if you refuse they will threaten you.

You can easily take sick leaves.
Small term and very outdated projects. In interview even in client interview also they will ask questions like NASA but at ground level you will get work like a fresher. If you are an experienced person your all knowledge will get rusted here. And if by any chance you want to change the project. You need to face very bad politics. If you get frustrated and want to resign, you can not leave before 90 days. The buy out policy is there but your manager will not accept it....Read More
