certifications = learning resources. Best place to learn and apply skillsets. Can remain a technical resource but you will work under a sub par manager most likely

  • Skill development - Excellent

Dislikes

Total lack of transparency - salary will remain stagnant - laterals will be hired with less experience and at a higher salary than internal long time resources - total lack of intent to retain and groom good resources - no growth unless you are a yes man with a godfather - lots of politics - Appraisal system earlier PBC system was clearer - salary will stagnate unless you get promoted but promotions wont happen - net result being IBMers being poorly paid. Higher bands will find difficult to find projects in locations other than Bangalore. Good projects wont come to locations other than Bangalore. IBM keeps selling businesses and products and goes after business that does exist - Cloud/ watson / Micro services/ Analytics as per season - Long time direction missing from leadership.
