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

IBM is good at work-life balance after working more than 7 years in IBM one thing I can say one will find very rare work place where people will not say anything once job is done , if any one can do their job none will tell anything.
Promotion and appraisal process , one should get judged by his/her work not the relationship having between manager and reportee, relationship has to be good with all but it should not be the only criteria for getting promotion and appraisal. It was really tough for me to leave IBM as it's my dream company since college time I left IBM because of manager.

We can learn many things in that company as they have given free access for all learning platform. It totally depends on you how u utilise it.
I don’t have idea about other projects inside the company, but the project which I was working was a low budget project then too those managers were not living that project and it was a worst project , as I am a fresher it was not good to start Carrer like that.

I am working in IBM Security. IBM got really good work-life balance. The work hours are flexible, no one will pressurize you into doing things.
The hikes are not that great. Even switching projects is a very difficult. If you are a graduate hire then you must atleast work for 18 months in the initial project, no matter you are interested or not.

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

Job security.
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.

The best thing to work with this company being the perfect work culture as a fresher.You will get enough time for learning purposes and different certification courses they offer for free
Salary increment is pretty dull and you will not getting enough opportunities for for growth .It is slow process and depends less on how hard you work

Work culture and flexibility. Not too much stress.
Even Bcom graduates can become software engineers and project managers in IBM. Bcom from Seshadripuram First Grade College and STEM degree(MS) holder from University of Texas at Arlington, USA are paid the same salary. Very huge pay disparity. No equal pay for equal work. Very racist and biased. Managers make false promises of promotions and very gradual pay hike. No meritrocracy. All degrees are the same. Doesnt matter if you worked until 3AM on projects to earn your STEM degree. BE and US STEM degrees are dirt cheap in India. US Management plays favorites....Read More

work life balance mostly depends on project and client. I worked here for 2 clients. 1 year per client. the project with my first client did not go as expected. the senior management to blame here. hence my (and my team mates') wlb was very bad. there were weeks I even worked for 14 hours per day. work with my second client was verygood. wlb was also very good. I worked during work hours and met all the deadlines etc. comfortably....Read More
hikes were not given as per times. you have to find projects on your own. (there will be forums etc. tho)

Everything is good. I haven’t been through the appraisal cycle yet, but heard from the seniors that its not good . You can’t expect more than 5% hike
Appraisal could have been better

Amazing work life balance and great culture. Work is challenging and there is a recent shift to product oriented work rather than traditional services and consulting approach
Not much yet, but I hear appraisals could be better

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.
