Pros

Job secure.

Work-life balance (depends on project and account).

Band progress gives a good salary hike.

Cons

Currently, I'm working on a banking project.

Work-life balance is going to hell (in the BMO account Pega support project).

  • Manager (Joyjeet Sen) is unfriendly.
  • Managers only think about their profit; they can force you to work 12 hours but ask to claim only 9 hours in the timesheet.
  • Even if you applied for medical leave, they ignore it and ask you to come to the office and work.
  • Bad night shift culture. Though the night shift does not support your health, still managers do not give release and force you to work in the night shift.
  • They can put you in a trap to hold you on the project.
  • They don't care about the employee's health but can blame you if your performance goes down. They do not discuss how to improve; they just harass you mentally and physically.

Currently, it's very difficult to say "IBM is a good place to work."

Advice to Management

Please give release if employees are looking for that. Please give importance to employee health. If management doesn't care, employees will leave the organization.
