IBM

1. Very good company for experienced professionals.
2. Strong work-life balance.
3. Excellent employee benefits.
4. Good projects.
5. Quality of work and working culture is impressive.

1. Low compensation compared to the market.
2. Low chances of promotion for experienced professionals, as many persons are waiting in the queue.

IBM's management team is very efficient. However, in my project, when I was working well, one of my team leads told my manager that I was not performing well. Based on that, my manager did not give me an increment, and I was also surprised by what happened. After that, I heard this thing.

I accept that for managers and even for senior managers, it is not possible to check what consultants are doing. However, if possible, the management should take feedback from all the team leads and co-workers, even those with whom the particular person was working. This way, they can get proper feedback based on different opinions rather than a biased one.
