Pros
  • Stability
  • Job Security
  • Excellent work/life balance
  • No micromanagement
  • Easy process for annual leave applications.
  • Sick leave can be taken as needed within the allocated limits, no questions asked.
  • Professional training sponsored by the company each quarter for upskilling of employees.
Cons
  • Very convoluted and lengthy promotion criteria.
  • Increments are irregular.
  • No allowance for home office, even though work has mostly been remote since the onset of COVID.
  • Visibility highly depends on your particular project, and a select few employees who are close to the top management remain in the limelight.
  • A lot of work is done on legacy technologies. Experience gained here is only valuable in terms of the brand image of IBM and not the actual skills learned.
