IBM

A good place to start a career if you were placed on campus. A good start in the beginning, but it was all under the hands of HR as to which project you would get allocated to. You might be trained for something and end up in something else. Managers will be the ultimate people to decide the hike, but most of them were good from my experience (no need to butter up the managers) as long as we don't annoy them.

Training will be given in Bengaluru, and you may get placed in projects all over India. You really can't ask for workplace change if you are not comfortable.

Salary hikes won't be as good as expected, and band changes will happen as they say.

Need more transparency on the hike process, specifically on what basis the hike was determined.

Adding goals in the PA portal is not really helpful to anyone, as none are taking it seriously.
