Pros

IBM's work environment is good. With respect to other Indian IT services companies, the work culture is better. I hope it remains that way in the future.

Work culture mainly depends on the PM/PoM. If they are micromanaging, then it becomes difficult to work.

Cons

The only thing is, existing employees are not getting paid well in India, even if they are high-performing. Inflation in India is high, and other IT companies are paying much more. In fact, when IBM is hiring from outside, it is paying much more, even at a junior level, than existing high-performing employees.

Advice to Management

Provide employees opportunities to move between projects to let them grow, instead of blocking them just because of open billable positions.

Dedicated time should be given to employees to learn, instead of always making learning a stretch assignment (apart from normal working hours).
