Pros

We provide a broad range of services and have very complex methods for each delivery area.

We also provide work-from-home opportunities on a need basis.

Cons

IBM is going through major internal transformation and trying to position itself primarily as a Cloud platform company with a strong focus on cognitive computing. However, as IBM India is primarily viewed as a cost center, these technology shift-related growth opportunities are hardly reaching its realm, and existing GBS projects are just viewed as a money-fueling mechanism to support this technology shift. So, salary growth, especially for IBM India GBS employees, is heavily impacted, even for high-performing accounts.

Advice to Management

We need to form a strong focus and viewpoint regarding how to get benefited from IBM's transformation from the IBM India perspective. We must act swiftly to create salary growth opportunities for IBM India employees before competitor companies seize the edge.
