IBM

IBM branding. Training and certifications. Thinkpads and servers. OK facilities for labs and SWG employees. Work opportunities with multiple clients and locations. Global reach. Great research labs.

Management drives and is not technical. Bureaucracy and politics. Do not share and are not transparent. Stuck with old arrogance. Old leaders don't want to change their ways for new generations. Once you join, be ready for stagnant salary hikes even with high ratings. HR and speak-up programs don't work or are intentionally crippled. Sales and consulting services over-sell products and services.

Be open-minded and respect the new generation's uniqueness. Learn some of the new techs. Talk with each employee on at least a fortnightly basis. Listen. Work on hiring and keeping employees. Give more incentives when inside, year on year. For India, be more like other IBMs.
