IBM Senior Architect salaries in Noida

...f tax saving components are available to maximize the tax savings for employees. The higher basic salary means a higher contribution to EPF and NPS (if opted.) This in turn ensures a good retirement corpus. On the flip-side, the higher contribution to EPF results in a lower take home figure, which a lot of millennials feel is a negative (lower instant gratification.)

Work life balance can be a hit-or-miss depending on the specific client engagement. Globally dispersed teams and even within India the team members maybe located in any part of the country makes one feel disconnected at a human level from the team.

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.

Good learning and skills development opportunities. Attractive compensation for lateral entries. But compensation growth could become stagnant after that.

Dislikes

No shift timings for my project. Work Life Balance could go for a toss in few projects.

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
