Pros

Great trainings and certifications sponsored by the company.

Good work-life balance, flexible on timings and work-from-home options (depends on the project and manager, though).

Good for diversity.

Lots of opportunities to explore new technologies.

If you are proactive and manage to have a good network, you can mould your career as you want, do whatever you want, and in any stream you want.

Cons

Very low compensation. Hopeless management. Bureaucratic and very slow, with no clarity about what to do. Employees feel left out without any clue. It's 'I By Myself'. No transparency in the appraisal process. Does not care to retain good employees. Travel and procurement processes are a pain.

Advice to Management

Please improve. This is the only option you have. IBM leadership needs to invest in employee satisfaction and get to know ground realities.

Get rid of hopeless managers who do not let people grow.

Retain good talent. People are willing to stay but are forced to leave due to low compensation and bad managers.
