IBM Mainframe Developer salaries in Bangalore / Bengaluru

Likes

The schedule is relaxed and no work leaks over into hours outside the office. No one micro manages you. Personal responsibility is the norm. IBM offers amazing online courses in most core technologies that you have free access to. IBM also allows you to take a professional industry certification every quarter, however your manager will need to nominate you for it. These certifications are viable in the industry. In terms of amenities provided there is a free cab service provided only for women between 7pm to 7am (ie for night shifts). Other amenities depend on which campus you are placed in. Do not fall for the trap of believing your work atmosphere will reflect what you see during your training.

...frame which is a very outdated system that usually runs for insurance companies. As far as I have seen growth opportunities are poor and so is the compensation, although you do have a bit of job security.

Dislikes

...(MS) holder from University of Texas at Arlington, USA are paid the same salary. Very huge pay disparity. No equal pay for equal work. Very racist and biased. Managers make false promises of promotions and very gradual pay hike. No meritrocracy. All degrees are the same. Doesnt matter if you worked until 3AM on projects to earn your STEM degree. BE and US STEM degrees are dirt cheap in India. US Management plays favorites.

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.
