Cons: Danger of getting lost in the matrix management system
Employee recognition has been declining year to year for quite a while.
Even the simple tasks are done with so much complexity
In last 6 years, I have not seen HR. There is no role of HR
Unequal distribution of work. Organization where ground reality is things are not organized.
Management has been growing with the mentality that there should be work and work. Hard to maintain work life balance.
More responsibilities and more work doesn't always translate to better pay - almost never does in fact.
No ground work on employee satisfaction
No hikes.
Poor tools - Have multiple tools for a simple singe task.
Practically no training sessions for employee growth
Rating system here is just poor.
Salary hike rules are not transparent. It all in hands of Manager.
Same company, same task, same designation, same experience but salary difference could be up to 3 to 4 folds.
So many management emails, if one will start read them thoroughly …. Half of the shift will go in that
There is no practical follow the sun rule exist.
They say that they believe their employees but they don't
They say that they do market evaluation but they just use terms but never follow what it stands for
Vertical career growth is too slow.
Worst pay package in industry
You don’t get any perks for your hard work.
Your future in IBM is in the hands of your people manager only.
Hiring freeze is building pressure in employees. But senior management is so adamant to keep freeze.
