Challenges everyday, expected to win every time without any support from the organization
Please consider this review pertaining to IBM India Pvt. Ltd. IBM USA is still a fantastic place to work and grow one's career.
IBM was not like this when I joined them a couple of years back. The culture was friendly, the environment was pro-learning, and the people were excellent. The degradation started after a group of folks from TCS joined and captured all the decision-making authority within the organization. They systematically ruined the organizational framework, such that all the good people left (or were made redundant), as is evident from the employee feedback posted here in the forum. What was left after this bitter onslaught was the "devil" I never got used to experiencing, even to this day. The head of this pack, I heard, got an all-paid trip to the United States to enroll in the AMP of Harvard Business School. I do not know if he passed, but I think he has provided a perfect case study of the destruction of a well-functioning, excellent organization. I am an MBA myself and would like to present a case study at my alma mater someday of this horrific transformation and what not to do to make your organization a success. That is, I think, the only legacy he left at IBM India Pvt. Ltd.
Apart from this, everything is good about IBM. You get to meet the most talented people in this industry (especially in the United States; the numbers sadly have been dwindling due to Resource Actions), the knowledge base of 100 years, the opportunity to be at the forefront of technical excellence, the well-established processes and methodology, and the respect the name commands.
Politics, poor management. Employees are looked at as numbers, and IBM India Pvt. Ltd. is a glorified bodyshop with no HR policies. Incompetent "deadwood" are glorified as managers. Useless, meaningless processes come from the brains of dumb-headed folks who have no idea how to run a business. Many good people have left, and there is a big fall in hiring standards. As a result, the quality of people is falling day by day.
They are too high up in the ivory tower to listen to us.
