1. Managers are encouraging to extend responsibilities and to cultivate a growth culture within organization. 2. Almost nil micro management. 3. IBM means flexible work hours, offs, schedules, wfh, and ofcourse unlimited sick leave. 4. IBM culture is awesome what is never seen in other big consulting companies especially some of the Indian Big Giants. 5. Growth and Learning opportunities are too many through free unlimited training access to Azure, Redhat, Udemy, Safari and through IBM Your Learning portal.

Dislikes

Perks are very less in IBM and salary hikes as well. However if you are an extraordinary professional then you can get good salary hikes. Promotions depends on your luck and situation, still on an average every 3 to 4 year you may get next level promotion if you are a performing professional. Sometimes it can speed up, i myself have got no promotion in 4.5 yrs and then double promotions in 2 years. It depends on your luck, manager, project and unbiased appraisal ratings. IBM need to expand itself in public cloud domain as well and that's what is holding it back a little.
