You would always feel proud that you are working in one of the top 15 multinational company because of the brand and reputation what it holds globally. If i have to speak generally this is good startup for the freshers to get exposure to the IT industry and work culture. It is a innovation driven company which supports, encourages the people who would like to bring changes that can directly or indirectly impact the company's growth in a large scale. There is an ocean of opportunities that you will find it but you need to get recognized that you are a team player as well as the game changer for the company and to reach to that height you have an option of mentors who would help you in your career growth....Read More
Salary /appraisal is very less, high work pressure may be we have to stretch the login hours some times and also work extra day to cover up the work. IJP is very less and even you have it there are some criteria that you need to meet.
I joined IBM as Tech support and left the company with the same designation after giving 4 years of my hard work. There is no respect to the employees they just want the work to be get it done. I was not at all treated as part of the company.

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

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
The leaders or managers in Q2C follow very very bad practice

Flexibility and projects were good. Good exposure. Good perks related to bluepoints.
People manager doesn't know what efforts you are putting as my PeM was different from project manager or project leadership. Partiality by my PeM as he had strong relationship with one of the resources. In short my PeM was toxic. Only got 4 percent increment in 2 years. No promotion.

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

They hired a particular skill but the task and work given is not relevant to your Experience. Example:- Hired as Data Analyst (SQL, PowerBi) and given the task of Java and php. Doing Huge Promises that we will give you the task and team as per your Tech/Experience. But no use. ITSR is Jail , and they don't tell at initial Stage while Joining.
