Pros

1. Brand Value 2. Internet Connection ,no Dress Code 3. Some of Benefits if you working in some of the Production support Project like shift allowance, daily covenience allows but they are going to scrap it last I heard.

Cons

1. Worst Package compared to any of the other IT comapnies although I joined as a lateral frustrated from my previous organization where I worked for more than 4 years. 2. No good project only Maintenence and typical prod support project where you need to work on weekend or work from home as they will provide support laptop/mobile. 3. IBM India manager are puppet to their counterpart at Onsite. 4. No hike or career growth for the employees at the Organization as IBM belives in Hire and Fire policy. I was so much frustrated after joining IBM that I left in 4 months after having an impression of the IBM brand value.

Pros

Friendly colleagues if you are lucky. Some are really brilliant but working really on very less compensation packages.

Cons

No transparency at all between the senior management. They have so bad management that its really difficult to survive. The leads are given overall powers and project manager is only concerned with the mails he receives apart from that he looks into nothing and completely depends on Leads who really are freshers in the management fields and some even freshers for the process for which they call themselves as leads. Poor management makes the whole environment so negative that whole productivity goes down. Senior Management doesn't look into competency of the employees they look how much they accept each and every politics played by them. Will never recommend anyone to work for IBM for any public funded projects.
