Pros
  1. Great for graduate hires as IBM policy is to have a good default hike after a year.
  2. Most of the managers are friendly and helpful.
  3. Access to free online learning platforms and ease in getting certification funding make upskilling a smooth process and saves bucks from your pocket.
  4. Great initiatives for fun like Fun Fridays, Ullahasa, etc. Learning events like Career Carnival help people who are lost in their career transition and get better in their current tech stack. IBM India has buzz and initiatives for CSR, giving back to society and nature. It's a great opportunity for satisfaction; there's always some kind of event going on.
  5. Lots of flexibility with WFH, WFO, and timings for most projects.
  6. Very good tie-up with a health app called Alyve.
  7. There is always something on the plate for innovations.
Cons
  1. As there is no HR, we will be lost in our path with specific information. (Ask HR) rarely addresses the point.

  2. Frequent shifts in project assignments make learning tougher.

  3. People with a 6B band are high in number, so promoting from that pool makes it tougher.

  4. Hikes entirely depend on people's managers.

  5. Cafeterias are a little high-priced.
