IBM reviews

IBM is a manager centric company, everything depends on your manager & there is no such HR to hear about your problems. So, if your manager is biased then this company is hell. In my case, even after doing so much of work, completing assignments on time without delay, I got Low Performance rating for the two consecutive years. So if according to them, my performance was Low then why did they not release me from the project ? Why my project release date was still 2025. So, it completely depends on your manager & mostly managers are adviced by the Tower Leads. After every Half yearly cycle, the tower leads & other senior management call on a meeting to discuss the ratings with the manager. Ibm's Kolkata DLF 1 tower B location PMI account's tower lead is one of the worst guy. He only knows Politics & how to ruin someone's career. And there is no HR or anything to whom you can complain. Salary is also peanut. You will not get any raise, specially for those who joins IBM India from another company. DON'T join IBM India.

A lot of cliques. Did I say a lot of cliques? Lots of freeloaders. Lots of people who have been there for decades pretending to do work. Other teams doing the same work as your team with different ways. Lots of favoritism. They layoff like their behind is on fire by the thousands and they lie all the time about their numbers. CEO lies like a professional actor. If you don’t go with the flow you are part of the reduction in force (RIF). Management doesn’t care about you. At first they pretend they like you but turn on you when you have a different opinion or idea to make things better. IBM has too many legacy systems that are outdated and too many processes that are a waste of time. IBM has lots of bullies and managers do nothing to prevent it even if reported. Lack of diversity and inclusion. Most executives and managers are white. There’s lack if respect. Don’t share anything personal. Lots of envy if you share any good news about your personal life.
