Cons

1.Rude Managers , show total disrespect for employees. 2.Managers promise a lot of stuff but dont do what they say. 3.Lot of work and lot of work pressure. 4.Very bad compensation to people who join as ELTP's with very less growth Chances. 5.Loyalty to your manager would get you a good rating and not the quality of your work.. 6.Make you do more documentation(clerical work) rather than software engineering work. 7.They make you pay for the team outings ( thats cheap !) 8.Treat freshers as school kids , give you assignments and you have written tests(Even after 3 years into the job !!) 9.Absolutely no work life balance. 10.They make you stay late and dont pay for that.Only few of the shifts are approved and the rest are rejected.You manager will show you his teeth and say budget constraint..And if you dont want to work late .. they say you are not cooperative and screw your ratings 11.Flexible working hours means --- you can be called for work any time any where --- as per their convienence. 12.They give more importance to their business than your aspirations. 13.Zero benifits. 14.Managers come up with twisted policies like you cant order food if you stay late and take cab.

Pros

a feel of working in a multi national company in india where true MNCs are few...... But ok company if one is desperate for a job that pays little monetarily.

Cons

provides out and out cheap labour.....to the extent that they employ people with meagre English skills as their employees.Also the IBM India comprises of a huge chunk of GBS wing in India which is not exactly 'high technology work'.Just leverages on "computerization" of things at work.

Pros

You can attend trainings of hot technologies.

Cons

Individual growth is hard. Not too many technical challenges, hence, I could not enjoy work.
