IBM Technical Specialist salaries in Chennai (Updated 2025)

Likes

They considered me for H1b and filed my petition in 8 months after my joining

Dislikes

After receiving H1B they never approved my travel and you are forced to stay there for less salary. Don't take joining bonus, get maximum take home salary before joining. In percentage you will receive like 8-10 percent hike but in 3 years you will be less paid and have less knowledge as you work for some client.

IBM is very good ... learning and skill development opportunities are there ...but the problems is there with manager and promotion. Hike is very minimal...and work from options is not there for all the project. And the project which is having WOR FROM HOME...are very less and one needs to have approval.

Dislikes

Hike, promotion and bonus these three things are very rare ....it's like once in green, red and blue moon. Favoruism is there .... management is not looking into it.

Dislikes

...(MS) holder from University of Texas at Arlington, USA are paid the same salary. Very huge pay disparity. No equal pay for equal work. Very racist and biased. Managers make false promises of promotions and very gradual pay hike. No meritrocracy. All degrees are the same. Doesnt matter if you worked until 3AM on projects to earn your STEM degree. BE and US STEM degrees are dirt cheap in India. US Management plays favorites.
