Project allocation is really frustrating process

Applications developer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

No compulsion to go to office if you are not allocated in a project

Cons

i have a very bad experience of getting allocated to project in IBM. Despite me telling my work location preferences i was assigned to distant office which was about 2 hours journey from my home. No proper interaction in office. you will feel like resigning in first month itself. Think thrice before joining this organization.
