Pros

Flexible work time in IBM-ISL

Cons
  1. Lots of micromanagement.

  2. Appraisal ratings are hugely dependent on the feedback of a few senior technical folks. If you have a good relationship with them, then you are in the green.

  3. Fired a lot of good people a couple of years back just to please some stockholders.

  4. No honest compensation revisions. Employees who, instead of doing honest work, spend much of their time buttering up senior folks, claiming others' work as theirs', and conducting meetings just to show off, are the ones that get good appraisal ratings.

Advice to Management

One of the basic responsibilities of the management is to recognize employees and the work done by them. Please stop saying that it is the employees' responsibility to present their work to the management in order to get appreciation, promotions, and compensation hikes.
