IBM Associate Project Manager reviews

This is not a company for performers. Career movement in IBM India is tagged to people management chain - which may not be one's project chain. This creates preferential evaluation of an employee as People Manager always prefer reportees of his own project. IBM is also removing all facilities that they used to provide couple of years back - like medical insurance premium. IBM has established lot of processes - but most of them have big gaps into it. It has an utilization target of 98% - which you can't achieve. The same is used as an explanation weapon to prove your bad yearly rating. Computation logic for utilization calculation is also weired. It considers mandatory holidays (like Independence Day, May Day, Gandhi Jayanti) as WORKING day while calculating one's utilization.

salary is a big issue. very less compared to other companies. promotions are tough since they lauched a new tool.
