IBM Developer Associate salaries in Chennai (Updated 2025)

Job security - there are so many projects. If you are on bench then don't worry if you have skills.

Dislikes

There is nothing like annual/yearly appraisal. You can be on same package for 4 years no matter how hard you work. They will only point out for "out of the box like independently developed some AI toll or equivalent to it" thing and at this point you will loose the battle. If you are okay to get yearly 1-2% hike on overall package then only you should join

It's good company for managers and engineers who have 15+years of experience and they have stable salary.

Dislikes

Even the corona time they were calling to office for work and to much work pressure and unnecessary work.

Likes

1. Working on latest technologies in few projects. 2. On time promotions if you are doing your job and working on client projects. 3. Good Annual hike compared to other service based companies.

Dislikes

1. Entire work on few people in project, others will relax and take same salary or in many cases more than you. 2. Less clients and more internal projects which makes promotion delay, unless there is huge dependency you won't get promotion. 3. Promotion depend on no of employees under manager and his budget not on performance. 4. They will release from project just before appraisal so you won't get neither appraisal nor promotion.
