The office culture is really good, specially the WFH policy (as long as you dom't misuse it). In my case the Manager's were really good and supportive, Considering the work environment , there is no problem until you are working good. I mainly liked the work culture and the colleagues over there, very helping nature.

...er there. At the end of the day, the thing that most matters is our Pay range. IBM really need to improve its Pay scale, A graduate Hire in IBM is earning similar to Security guard at the Receptionist. Even after gaining experience, you are not getting anything in return. Be it the yearly hike, or the Variable , nothing is as compared to the Market Standards. My friends who are in TCS are getting 10k extra with the same experience, This is the main reason for most of the Job Switch from IBM. If this was taken care of, IIB Literally is the best company to work for.

Its an amazing experience to work in IBM. Projects follow a systematic process. Proper KT is given for the project domains. Lots of online sessions are scheduled in variety of functions and we can take it whenever we get free time. It has WFH option. Has a very gud leave policy and medical benefits. Appraisal wise not that great. They might give 5% to 15% in general.
