IBM

I do not see any pros. It's a normal service-based company with average benefits like any other usual firm. It's not doing anything to stand out for its employees.

If you are in a Barclays account, you should forget about work-life balance. Managers from IBM do not support you; instead, they always tell you to do as asked. Micromanagement is at its peak. You will be asked to minimize leaves, as those leaves will be used by the end of the year for furlough. Managers here think they own the firm and make their own rules to run the account.

Higher management should have regular feedback sessions with employees and try to understand if they are facing any challenges on their client side. Also, just like managers have a role to provide feedback to employees, employees should also have similar ways of providing feedback for their managers.
