I take pride that I am part of IBM. It's a brand that has been contibuting for the society with new technologies/ patents every year. It's a huge organisation that has shown resilience and bounced back into competition. Its size and complex internal process makes it a bit sluggish to maneuver the sharp bends introduced by fast changing consumer needs and emerging trends. However, what makes it so special is that it's still a leader in innovation and introducing new technologies which other companies leverage to build their products on. It's a process driven and employee centric organisation. Work culture of IBM is awesome, its all based on trust. No other organisation as per my knowledge trusts its employees as much as my IBM. IBM invest a lot in training and development. After joining IBM I have completed ITIL Foundation, ITIL Intermediate, ISO Auditor, Agile, Data Science training and certification. Its just in a span of 5 years, which I could not do in my previous 12 years of career with Dell and DRDO. Since it's a process driven organisation, its ethically very strong. It has very strong compliance and security processes....Read More
Too much into process. These process has multiple approval layers. Things that should take a few hours goes on for few days. Because of its size, any new change takes longer to implement. And again due to its massive size and hierarchal/ matrix structure transparancy takes a beating. IBM lately began working on few initiatives to increase employee salary structure.
I am a Service Delivery Leader with GTS, DWS - service desk operations. I manage operations of 9 customers in financial, industrial, retail, transportation sector supported by a team of ~300FTE working from Bangalore and Hyderabad.

There is not much to like it here in GTS.You ll have immense work if you are capable with no financial growth.
There is nothing much to like.So IBM sets an example in poor employee care.

Working at IBM was a good experience as the company really provides Job security and has various opportunities to grow and explore our career in large varity of opportunities provided by this mega plateform of services.
The only and improtant aspect of working is for earning money and expecting increase of compensation in every financial year is not a very good experience working with IBM, however wages are biggest challenge in IBM its very difficult to get appraisal every year in IBM.

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

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

Work balance is good and learning sources are good
The promotion process lacks clarity, with managers often using persuasive tactics to delay promised timelines, leading to employee demotivation and eventual attrition.

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
