Good company for ladies, but not good for growth

Pros

IBM has one of the best work-life balances compared to other companies. They provide flexible work from home, an AMEX card, reimbursements for company expenses, comp off, flexible hours, cabs, a good canteen, and good, fast laptops. If you don't fall into office politics and do your thing, you will make real good friends in IBM.

Cons

The salary hike is very slow. And it takes years of bootlicking to get a promotion.

Most people are just sitting on a virtual bench, where you are part of the project but there is hardly anything that you are contributing or learning. The growth curve is negative. Lot of office politics and people pretending to be busy when they are actually just browsing the net till 8pm.
