      Good right now, but in danger of loosing good people through rigid business model and administrative heavy processes

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good employee benefits with flexible working. I don't know of any other employer that would allows the same level of responsibility in terms of organising working hours and location.

      Cons

      Internal processes are cumbersome and frustrating. Hours are long and the culture is increasingly one of working 7 days a week. Pay reviews are poor, the pot for an annual increase is reduced every year. The salary benchmarking is a farse, with roles being measured against incorrect external criteria resulting in lower pay than contempories in other businesses.

      Good, but could do better

      Senior consultant

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There is an extremely diverse range of employees in the company and most are very good at what they do. Everyone is happy to share the benefits of their skills and experience, regardless of seniority. Collaboration is encouraged and is beginning to work well.

      Cons

      It is a very political organisation and you need to know how to play the game to get on. Career and personal development is too far down the agenda. You really have to fight to get any kind of training.

      IBM India - Inside Out

      Senior systems engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Work Life Balance, Opportunities and overall IBM Policies

      Cons

      Poor Management, especially HR. Absolutely no plan in deployment of resources across projects and no surety given for career development even though plans are in place. Reporting structure too is not well directed.
