IBM IT Analyst salaries in Chennai (Updated 2025)

Likes

Probably, my first and the best company I have worked with. Very comfortable. No other company is even comparable to IBM in terms of work and personal life balance. It's really good and work culture is great. Leave policy, Medical Health Insurance, work environment, work from home, etc are very good facilities to employees. Since I was working on shifts, so I got cab one-way as it's the policy after 6.30PM IST, transport facilities are available. I really miss IBM and even I want to join again in my later career in life.. :)

Dislikes

...any which means if your manager is good for you then you are at the right place. Also, don't expect salary hike. However, it's like govt. job so all the facilities and leave policy is really good especially for diversity employees. So you need to decide either the comfortable work life or your salary hike else you can switch. If you want to get settled in your life, IBM is the best one!!

The access to learning platforms.

Dislikes

...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.

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 **
