I love the work environment and the planning of the work to be done
When the plan is made in a proper way, the execution also needs to take place the same way. Managers do not allow you to move internally which should be changed. Everywhere people work for 9 hours. The 10 hour work with an hour of break is really not feasible.

Peers are good to work with along with the help of our seniors.
Terrible hikes and growth in this company. Nowhere near when compared to the likes of Delloite, Amazon, etc
Pretty boring and monotonous.

IBM is a great company to work. I have been working with IBM from last 3 years. Good place for learning, expose to all the latest technology. Bunch of opportunity for the employees which provides scope to learn and grow in today's competitive world of technologies.
HR policies needs to be improved and more team outing should be planned to bring people closer.

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.

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
Learning’s through core work is not good

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.

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.

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
