IBM

Work culture, leaves, sometimes work-life balance.

IBM is a manager-centric company. Everything depends on your manager, and there is no HR to hear about your problems. So, if your manager is biased, then this company is hell.

In my case, even after doing so much work and completing assignments on time without delay, I got a low performance rating for two consecutive years. So, if according to them my performance was low, then why did they not release me from the project? Why was my project release date still 2025?

So, it completely depends on your manager, and mostly managers are advised by the Tower Leads. After every half-yearly cycle, the Tower Leads and other senior management call a meeting to discuss the ratings with the manager.

IBM's Kolkata DLF 1 Tower B location PMI account's Tower Lead is one of the worst guys. He only knows politics and how to ruin someone's career. And there is no HR or anything to whom you can complain.

Salary is also peanut. You will not get any raise, especially for those who join IBM India from another company. DON'T join IBM India.

You people are the worst. Specifically, the Kolkata location PMI account, which is in DLF 1 Tower B. IBM should bring in a completely new management group in the Kolkata DLF 1 Tower B location and throw out the existing guys, starting from managers and above. They only know politics and how to ruin someone's career.
