...form, skill development wise IBM is lacking bit behind when it comes to testing. Salary increments are normal like any other IT companies, however career growth is very slow thanks to band structure. I must say work life balance is good, if you are working in non financial domain you can always connect from home and complete your work. When you switch to some other account it becomes bit tricky, challenging and which also slows down your career growth.

Job security - Good

Dislikes

Employee doesn't feel welcoming when he joins newly, as team is busy with their work. There is no induction program at account level.Band promotions are bit tricky because of it's structure..
