Pros

IBM is a huge Organization, you need to be in the right division to get the best out of it. for Indians, ISL is the best place to be and some groups are really great when it comes to learning and improving oneself. THe work culture in IBM ISL is one of the best that any company has to offer. Work from home, unlimited sick and casual leaves, Laptop on joining, etc.

Cons

HUGE Notice period (3 months) very late final Settlements (45 working days after last working day) no leaves en-cashed till you separate everything depends on you manager(if you've got the wrong one, ur pretty much screwed) less green bills

Pros

This review is for IBM Canada. Workplace is very laid back. People come in at 8:30 in the morning and leave around 4:30 in the afternoon, and even earlier if the boss leaves early. Everyone has his/her own little office and there is very little supervision as long as one finishes his/her assigned tasks on time.

Cons

Not a highly intellectual environment. The work itself was bland and there was no strong motivation to really work hard and achieve something. Communication between coworkers was limited, as people tend to stay in their own offices.
