...tion. Everyone keeps quiet about this, if you speak up, you will be highlighted. This is so worse that any other benefit pales in comparison, even a high salary.

... duration. Better growth and learning objectives and wide platforms for upgrade. Salary hikes also average as other companies purely depends on manager. Overall a great company to work :)

Dislikes

Appraisals are below industry standards. All others things are well and good

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 **

Great work life balance No micro management No need to maintain hours in office ( no swipe out time) Cab facilities for women employees after 7 pm Commute expenses reimbursement. Culture is very good Lot of learning and certification opportunities

Dislikes

Only point is that, try to get maximum salary when you join IBM. Like many other MNCs yearly hike is very poor in IBM.
