Pros: IBM Consulting India has a systemically important client in Navi Mumbai – your work can potentially impact 50 million mobile users. IBM's pro-employee policies. Management tries to shield the team from the illogical thought process of the client. Product roadmap incorporates newer technologies.

Cons: Client yells at management, who earbashes the team with: 'client putting pressure.' This leads to working extra hours at odd times. No work from home. Management turns a blind eye to social distancing for vendors. Three desktops are placed in the space of two cubicles, causing people to elbow their neighbors. The codebase is out of sync across environments. Deployments mean pulling all-nighters and manually copying code to production. There is no development environment, as the client is unwilling to spend for extra licenses. The non-production environment is frequently inoperative due to failing core APIs managed by a third-party vendor. Management still accuses the team for delayed deliveries. Management is non-technical. The project is not agile. Daily Scrums last for one hour.

Pros: I've never had a team and organization as truly dedicated to helping me become the best contributor that I can. I have never been left to flounder or struggle needlessly to get onboarded into a new project. Everyone shares knowledge freely, and the organization has a strong push for supporting individuals in ways I've never had before. Part of your weekly schedule is intended to include individually directed continued learning. You're encouraged to explore job or project opportunities in other divisions or teams for projects that interest you. Agile is actually followed, and my manager and teammates all work together to protect our time from last-minute or overbearing requests.

Cons: Marketing? I had no idea IBM was this amazing, and I could have missed out on this opportunity.

Pros: Programming Discounts Good experience Benefits Some smart people Dental is cheap

Cons: Big company Climbing the ladder Tech stack Slow to change
