IBM

Excellent process.

Excellent job profile.

Got to work with some of the smartest minds in the industry.

IBM is just like the world, and as Rocky Balboa says, "The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place."

Here, they give you training on how to report harassment. This lulls you into a false sense of security, thinking everything is taken care of. But you will be blindsided by what all can constitute irritation and harassment. This is the place where you actually learn what worse things life can throw. One should join a big company like this to know how you can learn to fight back.

Alright, to the points:

• If you show you like what you do, people will pile up work on you.
• If you show leniency, people will take more and more chunks of your time.
• You are getting paid for your time, so take your time in doing your stuff.
• Meetings are piled up on you; just make sure you are on track, even if you are the star performer of the team.
• Other team members' work, whether performing good or bad, will become your problem.
• Multitasking is the most misused & abused skill here.
• Your work-life balance is in your hands. Take it and manage it according to what YOU want. Don't let your manager or Team Lead dictate what happens in your off-time. It's a time sinkhole from which you can't get up.

Don't hire people if you are going to fire some of them and pile up work on others who perform. Due to no fault of theirs, they lose sleep over unfinished tasks which don't even belong to them.

Don't ask people to be a team player. It's the stupidest statement ever. You are sugar-coating "making a bakra/chutiya."
