Pros

Work from home is really good for people who want to work sitting in the comfort of their home. There are no fixed daily hours to clock in, it's a brand name, and you can take unlimited paid sick leaves :)

Cons

You may feel lost among 4 lacs+ employees worldwide.

Managers are not competent enough.

Mostly support projects, so technical learning might be limited.

Getting onsite chances is very low.

A 90-day notice period makes it difficult to switch.

Your progression totally depends on you, as you need to initiate everything at IBM, and most of the time, getting information becomes difficult.

Advice to Management

Listen to employees and take regular feedback on their work and from managers. They should also keep their aspirations in mind.
