Pros
  1. Good work-life balance.
  2. Good working environment, and colleagues are also very good.
  3. Healthy competition which helps to improve the career graph.
  4. Good career graph, lots of cutting-edge technologies are there. If anybody wants to get involved and work with these, he/she can do this.
  5. There is always some innovation.
Cons

In my view, all things are good, except for a few aspects like promotion and salary hikes.

If someone joins with a good salary, they may not receive any increment the following year, or if they do, it will be around 3-5%.

Another issue is that bonuses are not substantial.

Advice to Management

Lots of young talents are there in IBM, but they all want to switch to other organizations just because of salary hikes and promotions. Please don't let them go; just try to improve the salary structure.
