IBM

Unlimited sick leave.

One month of paternity leave.

Tie-up with day care with 50% co-pay up to ₹18,000.

Bluepoints: utilized for shopping.

Udemy, paid certification.

No work-life balance. Bad management. Worked 18 hours a day continuously for 4 months, including weekends. If confronted, you may lose your job. Silent firing: they put you on the bench or PIP, then torture you to resign. Very few projects. Very bad workforce management team; no calls for projects in the last 3 months while on the bench. Middle East clients treat you like slaves (FAB). They don't believe in estimation. If work has to be completed today, they don't care if it's possible in one day. They want to hear it's completed in the next status call, or they will escalate with IBM managers. IBM managers don't raise their voices against employee exploitation by clients.

Look for employee well-being; they are not slaves. 18 hours of work without weekends is not feasible.

Calling on weekends, writing code, and completing work when you are with family or out sick is not acceptable.

In the last 4 months, I got eye power instability and high sugar levels due to long working hours, and high cholesterol.

One of my colleagues got a piles problem due to continuous sitting.

One colleague's daughter was in the hospital; you didn't spare him, and he was forced to work from the hospital.

One of the female colleagues got an eye problem from high screen time.

Overall, we lost many things in the last few months and gained forceful resignation after all that work.

If this post is monitored, your FAB client is ruining IBM's reputation. That will be very bad in the long term.
