IBM

1. Flexible work from home time.
2. The team is small, but it depends on the product in IBM Cloud. Therefore, there will be much to work on and learn.
3. Many new and widely used coding languages and technologies are used within the same team. This helps in learning and developing new skills.
4. Internet broadband reimbursement.
5. Lots of learning opportunities.
6. My team is really good. The manager and lead understand your concerns and will help you resolve them.
7. Management is good.
8. Work-life and personal life balance is good so far. I cannot compare with other companies as this mostly depends on the employee.

1. Perks and benefits are okay and way less compared to other cloud providers.
2. Food on site is not good. Not worth for what you pay.
3. Three coffees or teas are free; after that, you will have to pay.
4. You get a UPS and headset, which is okay.
5. The laptop charge holds good for 3 to 4 hours with continuous work.

The UPS backup is 30 minutes max, which was given by the company. Bangalore power cuts are way more than this in summer. This doesn't match up at all.

But still, we can go to the office during these times. This was a major issue during COVID lockdowns.

I had to buy a better UPS myself. There is no reimbursement for anything other than broadband as of now.
