All my expectations and hopes were crashed
Pros: Benefits like health insurance , are very good. Some of the policies like training,hiring are very employee friendly.Training opportunities are good.
Cons: IBM does not accommodate working mothers needs at all. Although it states so many things but at the end of day implementation of those policies are not met.
Like I am a working mom , I wanted a role based out of Dallas and I had clarified that at the time of hiring itself.After couple of months of my joining ,my manager informed me the project for which we hired you is now not with IBM then they start pushing you for taking outstation projects involving travel.
For a new comer to the company searching for project by themselves very tough and they will tell you that you have to network yourself and get to a project when most people are at client locations. How do you network? There is hardly any support from management or HR in project search.
Finally after a year they will let you know we will have to let go as there is no work
During my 1 year with IBM apart from 2 months on a project all i heard was work is in pipeline project is in pipeline. Some of the projects i later got to know are hiring in my local area and we were not given the chance to be part of the project
