IBM Manager salaries in Chennai

Varied exposure. Due to lack of budget management will get most of the high end task done by you thereby increasing the exposure.

Dislikes

...agement i worked with was not skilled and GA was managed by PTP and OTC leaders Bad pay - increments and perks are really bad Office politics - no value for work if you are good at dancing or singing or anchoring management might favour you. If you are good at work they will drill you. Management company - there is no HR so the rule of manager is final. I witnessed few harassment casses wherein a female employee was abused by manager and on her complaint there was no action. No promotions - there is no 18 or 24 month criteria. Even if you are top rater they at first will make false promises of promotion and later will reject your promotion. Self centered management - the management is so self centered they even jeopardize the careers of innocent. I witnessed few cases where people were asked to resign or else threatened to be given PIP. No formal documentation of roles and responsibilities also even sometimes they mislead org chart or hierarchy. Delayed FNF - management is unaware about FNF policy or relieving formalities which result in delay of FNF. My FNF is pending for more than 2 months and after several escalations i get no resolution. Micro management and pathetic work life balance with no wfh policy. I had to fight with management to allow my team to take 1 wfh a week.

The company is open to innovation and readily adopts it. It gives individual a platform to interact with clients, which is good for personal development

Dislikes

Compensation is decent, but there is no other monetary benefit

Lot of learning opportunities and initiatives by the company. Work life balance is good based on the projects you work on. There is no work timings, just complete the work assigned and none bothers you. Great co workers, very helpful.

Dislikes

Recognition and rewards are very bad here. Salary hikes are bad and the yearly bonus are the worst. IBM takes half yearly feedbacks on the performance, but it is not taken into consideration. Whatever you work or how many projects you take and deliver quality work managers just give you one liner feedback. It is driven by managers. It is very important for a company to make their employees feel good.

Dislikes

The compensation. at least there should be distinctive points for performers and non-performers. If both are treated equally, Non-performers will be motivated and performers will feel like harassed and team will end up having more and more non-performers in the team.
