Pros

Fantastic work culture.

If you get a good manager, you get:

  • Flexible timings
  • Work from home options

because these are supported by the IBM management.

Cons

If you don't get a good package when joining, you'll be one of the lowest paid in the market.

Make sure you get a good band before joining. It should be 6B or above for better results.

Some managers who join from other companies won't understand the IBM culture and will demand strict work timings and micromanagement.

It's a big ocean, and you'll get lost in it soon if you don't continue to make noise.

Advice to Management

Train managers on the IBM flexible work culture and work-life balance. Some ignorant managers make a mess of employees' lives by being a proper Indian manager and not an IBM manager.
