Best company to join if you have "YES BOSS" attitude
Pros: - The best company for "Work from Home" option.

- Salary always on time.

- Very high Basic Salary.

- Almost all government benefits (PF, VPF, NPS etc.) for you.

- There is no variable part in your salary.

-  A bonus is apart from your CTC.

- Flexible work culture and no work pressure.
Cons: - The company is completely run by Managers. If your manager says it's day then day and night then night. There is no HR in the company at all as your manager is your HR. There is 18 months project policy in IBM but if you manager doesn't want you to relieve, no one can help you. Changing the job is easy than changing a project in IBM. It's simple - "Either follow your boss or just get out from the company".

- Whatever package IBM has given you, consider that the only money you will have. There is no appraisal at all in IBM, at-least not for next 2-3 years. In case of appraisal, 90% of the people get below 5% raise.

- There is a biggest nonsense in IBM called "PMR". Your hike can be simply denied saying your "Present Market Ratio" is high. In fact this is the most used justification for not giving hike, and this may go till years.

- Morning shift allowance is massive 50/-. Afternoon shift allowance is 125/-, much lower than any other company. 

- Your bonus will be very high only on papers. You will only get 10-20% of it, that also if our manager wants to give.

- Lot of tools, ILC, TVC, Lexicon etc. And if you claimed wrong amount by mistake, no appraisal for that year.

- 3 months notice period, IBM started and every companies are now following.

- One side cab till band 5, no cab for band 7 and above.

- The worst training program in the industry. 99.9% trainings are Webinar and of worst quality.
