Pros

Very Big Company to work for Good brand name

Cons

Very bad compensation No work appreciation. No night shift allowance provided to lower band employees No appraisal if u even work continually for full year or more. Least amount of package given. Even a auto rickshaw driver is earning more than me. They will make you work on Indian holidays and even on 26 Jan and 15 Aug. And for compensation you'll get Rs 100/- meal.

Pros

work from home great support from project teams

Cons

work your butt off year after year - consistently get great reviews - little or no raise or bonus Senior management is greedy - they do not care at all about the people in the trenches doing the work It appears that Senior management's favorite activity is laying off experienced American workers and replacing them with clueless offshore resources (to be fair - not all offshore resources are clueless but a majority of them are) IBM promotes work/life balance but that is a joke - most US resources must work most evenings and weekends Have yet to meet anyone that regrets leaving IBM for another consulting company - I will soon follow their path

Pros

Flexibility Trusted brand - opens doors Work/Life balance

Cons

Pay is below market value and it's very difficult to get salary increase Management don't listen - or don't want to listen. They're too busy with their heads buried in spreadsheets rather then supporting and coaching their reps who are on the ground, dealing with customer situations every day.
