Working in IBM is a good opportunity. Excellent work culture and the have the opportunity of working with super cooperative team. Did not faced job security issues since the domain is product development. IBM tries to take care of its employees. Excellent opportunities for Skill Development and Career growth. WFH facilities and Work Life balance is the key and most important IBM puts lot of trust on employees. Management is good and cooperative. Most important, local managers listen to the employees and does try their best to resolve the issues. The hikes are decent and regular. IBM takes care of employees, both physical and mental health is given most priority.

Dislikes

Salary structure is little below the market and technology standards. Hikes are regular but not very much satisfactory. No travel options for product development. It takes time for career growth. The cafeteria is good but everything is paid. No additional benefits. Also the medical insurance is not very satisfactory. Although company increased limits and added features during pandemic.
