IBM

If you get a good manager, the work environment will be conducive to your growth. You will enjoy working and even have work-life balance. There is plenty to learn, and you are encouraged to keep learning and upgrading yourself. Processes are set up for everything.

If you get a rude manager, be ready to work 10-12 hours every day, including weekends. You won't even get paid to work extra hours. IBM gives single-digit hikes. Join at a higher package and expect the same payscale until you leave IBM. Promotions are very tough. I haven't been given a promotion since joining six years ago. Everything is project-based. If you are tagged to a long-term project, you can expect growth. Otherwise, your yearly reviews will be a mixed bag, with hikes and promotions being doubtful. If you are on the bench for more than 45 days, you will be put on a PIP. So, getting tagged to billable code is of utmost importance. The set-up processes take a longer time and will not produce desired results.

Pay a fair wage to your employees! Give decent hikes and timely promotions! Do something to give people on the bench some productivity. The RCM guys are a joke and never give projects or bother to check. PeM is there just to raise PIP once you are on the bench.
