Pros

Global presence, brand, trust. Stable company with experienced employees. Focus on skills, learning. strong R&D and Innovation.

Cons

work load heavy for client facing roles. Hike is very less. No transparency on promotion criteria or onsite assignment. Your people manager is also your HR manager. Pressure on employee to maintain Utilization 100 %. Frequent weekend working to deliver work on time and may need to work on weekend if you take sick leave/unplanned leave. In and out timings checked in few projects by management but not by IBM.
