IBM

Good working environment. Flexible timings. Nice process outlined to manage your career within the organisation. Trainings.

The 'worst' in terms of compensation compared to other organizations. Our effort is directly linked to billing, meaning if you did a good job on your project and your utilization is not up to the mark, then your effort is, simply put, ignored. Too much of a policy dose from the managers. Bragging about past achievements and their brand image.

Employee referral is a complete catastrophe; no one has ever been placed at IBM referred by an employee, except maybe by some managers. Everybody knows that HR and some consultancies have some 'illegitimate tie-ups,' and they only promote candidates from them. IBM is not transparent about this, except for sending out repeated emails to its employees to refer candidates.

The following comments are specifically to managers/Sr. consultants in IBM Hyderabad:

• Managers in Hyd do not possess the capability to win over a customer.
• They cannot manage the careers of their employees.
• Unprofessional attitude.
• Hypocrites.
• Encourage bootlickers.
• Show bossism.
• And living examples I heard about are... well, most of the managers :)

Advice to managers in Hyderabad:

Maintain a professional attitude towards junior employees; don't behave as if they are your slaves!

And fight for projects in the Hyderabad location. We have good resources here.
