Pros

Nice team members and a lot of new things to learn (only if you can jump into all tasks and grab it from others).

Flexible timings and work from home option (I have a laptop, that's why I enjoy this privilege).

Managers don't care about their employees until there's an escalation. So, your life will be happy until you get one.

Cons

Don't join IBM if you have any creativity and innovation left in you, whatever they say.

You may be interested in some technology but end up doing many process-related things.

No proper technical training is provided; management wants to just show headcount to their clients.

Managers are a superb species over here. I don't know what they are doing, but still, they are managers.

Most clients are leaving, and affected employees are just waiting to be sent out.

IBM is out there only because of its brand name and its competing servers.

Salary: Your eyes will surely pop out seeing the first payslip. Look at the IBM offer letter CTC again and cry silently.

Anyways, I am moving out of here. It took 8 months to know more about the company.

Advice to Management

It's not worth advising trees. They only grow the way they want.
