- Pay is less when compared to other product based companies. - As a technical Support Engineer, we will be working on a specific part of product or component so that we do not get exposure to complete product. Though good resources if you want to learn any other technologies on your own, you don't get hands on experience with all the products on production.

IBM Brand name attached now. Work Culture is good. People usually don't indulge in politics. Job security is excellent. No layoffs during the pandemic. Learning opportunities are there but you need to spend time in the organization to get that. Lots of emphasis on one's tenure in the organization. More the number of years spent, more respect the person gets. Management is good and pretty cool about things. No micro management.

Skill development - Good

Dislikes

Salary is on the lower side than the market. Also the appraisals are not consistent. Career growth will become stagnant is there is not much job role change when one gets promoted. There are less opportunities for IJP's Yet to get the benefit of being an IBM company. This should reflect in people getting more job opportunities to go to internally.

New Job, Higher Pay, Now I’m Feeling Awkward

I’ve been at my new job for about six months now, and everything’s been going great! I’m getting positive feedback from my manager, and I get along well with the team. The thing is, when I started, my salary offer ended up being much higher than the initial number discussed during my interview. I didn’t negotiate and just accepted the offer. So, fast forward to happy hour with the team, and the topic of salary comes up. I, unfortunately, shared what I’m making, and let’s just say... it didn’t sit well with the others who have been on the team for years and make less than me. They weren’t mad at me, but now I’m feeling a bit uncomfortable and unsure how to handle this situation. Has anyone had something like this happen? How did you deal with it? Let’s chat!
