IBM is a thug. IDK if it has only happened with me. I was made to resign on call and was promised basic salary for my notice period of 60 days. And at full and final settlement i was given 3k rupees. No leave enchashment , no actual salary for the days i worked in that month leave basic salary for 60 days. Utterly disappointed and looted.

Only thing I like about IBM is there is no Hard rule of 9 hours in office, that's it, apart from it everything sucks. Even cafeteria

Dislikes

1. Salary and appraisals --> Worst/Worst/Worst, I think most of young peers who joined IBM say this. 80 % of the employees are not satisfied with the appraisals. If you join IBM come with atleast 100% hike. 2. Work Life Balance --> Never Ever Join AT&T, PMI projects, you have to work on weekends forcibly to complete the deliverables, don't expect any incentivies and compensatory leaves, they didn't even approve our planned vacation. 3. Most of the projects are legacy projects so you don't get much to learn. 4. Work Pressure, Imaturity Leads, Improper planning of project deliverables. 5. You will have people managers in IBM instead of HR's, they asks us to create certain tranings where it all revolves around (don't charge more than 9 hours, don't work on weekends/.holidays, POSH tranings, ethics etc etc) to surprise, these f***ers will call directly on mobile no matter what time it is and asks to work. This is how management is in IBM.. most of my friends, family, colleagues left IBM after joining within 1 year. ** Take wise decision **

Diversity and the work culture. the learning experience

Dislikes

Salary and benefits are not as high as expected but not poor also. one benefit is that you get what your CTC is, there is no promised perks which companies don't fulfill usually.

Work Culture, Open environment, People's opinion matters, You can reach any level if you have issues

Dislikes

Salary, they can make people work for decades giving peanuts, Freshers join and they are almost at the package as a person working over a decade. Probably IBM doesnt have any review policy for tenured existing employees. My manager told me straight up to look outside what am I still doing here. Even management knows what IBM is doing but they can only sympathize.
