Likes - Advocates skill development through learning, unlearning and relearning approaches. Process oriented to ensure robust governance at all levels. Leave policies better than other top MNCs.

Likes

Only work culture is good but that will put you in their comfort zone and you will never progress professionally.

Dislikes

People manager and HR are totally waste and they are never interested in your career path. You need to fight with everyone in IBM for your band progression. HR puts gun on People Manager and fires the employee. Your band progression in IBM is your worry and not your manager's worry.

Likes

Work satisfaction and good learning development.

Dislikes

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.

Likes

It's good company to have flexible working hours and job security is there.

Dislikes

There is no HR in IBM and employees don't even know who is their HR. It's manager driven company and we don't get much hikes and promotion process is very slow.
