IBM reviews

Unless you reside in the ivory tower in Armonk, you are just a serial # to this company. Management is a joke. They are not respected, because generally speaking, most of them are incompetent. They rely on their team to make them look good, so when it comes time for recognition, they have no problem accepting it for themselves, rather than passing it on to those who "truly" deserve it. The PBC rating system (yearly review) is a joke, it is a luck of the draw exercise. I have found that in 10 years with the company, it seems we spend more time trying to justify our employment by making sure our powerpoint presentations look pretty and also that the data presented to executives is as "accurate as possible". Employee morale is horrible. It has become a depressing company to work for.

Please do not join IBM i team at any cost. Manager is the torch bearer of negativity here. The development is totally unorganised. The project is transferred from USA to India and there was no proper KT. And the manager does not have the patience to build the team. Please do not join in any team under him. He works like a detective to find fault in your work and he uses all his creativity to write negative feedback in checkpoint. There are multiple teams under this manager starting from Java, MQ, NodeJS and Networking. New Compiler team is going to be formed soon. Please stay away from such toxic team. During interview they will be really sweet and will tell you false things about the work. If you want to join, please join at your own risk.
