Appraisals, promotions, Bonus... IBM india is completely manager centric company. So, your appraisals/promotions entirely depend upon your manager. Managers do take biased decisions because of which you will be forced to leave IBM & look for elsewhere.

The best thing in IBM was WFH opportunity though it was based on manager's approval. Also the learning hub, ideanthon, hackathon is really a good option in IBM. I was very happy to be a part of their cloud development team and mostly they will give you full access in their cloud development platform and you can do any PoC so it will help you to gain knowledge in IBM cloud and cloud development and also it will help to boost your career in Cloud Development.

Dislikes

The salary, appraisal, bonus really very poor in IBM. Once you have joined with the hike that will remain almost same for next couple of year.

IBM is good company but management is not good.Personal development is very slow.Employee is not getting salary as per current market Standard.There is very poor salary straructure in IBM.They are not paying the package..equal to number of experience.example if employee having 7 years of experience they are not getting 7 LPA.If you don't need any growth and relax in life then you can join IBM.My overall experience with IBM is not good.They are not paying variable regularly they are not giving salary hike regularly.Max salary hike is only. 8%.Variable you may get 5-10K max per years.

...nager. 7)Don't spend more than 3 years in IBM.Your growth will become constant. 8)Variable pay is very bad..even they are not paying on regular basic.My max variable was 13K in 7 years...and mostly around 5-6K. 9)I spent 7 years..in hope i will get an opportunity to upmy skill but it didn't work.finally i left the organization. 10)I will not suggest to Join IBM.There are lot of politics inside the company.if you are nearer to management you will grow otherwise..you can't expect

My Project manager pushed me to develop my interpersonal networking which helped me a lot. Work from culture is prevalent which helps balance work-life balance.

Salary revision was slow but it reflected actual IT market of that time.
