Employment status: current

Good work life balance but poor career growth
Pros: - In hand component of IBM is generally quite high, they dont inflate your CTC by adding figures which you wont eventually get
- Excellent work life balance, you can literally choose your working hours and as long as you complete the deliverables nobody questions what timing you are following
- Good knowledge pool, exhaustive internal knowledge database where you can fish out for almost everything you want to know about your domain
Cons: - Salary increments are almost negelgibe, on an average i had about 2.5% increment over the past 3 years
- Promotions are also sometimes delayed and have a bearing on your performance rating which even if you are working hard you may still not given a good rating
- the performance rating also depends on how much equation you have with your manager/project manager, something which should NOT be there at all.. it should just depend on how you have performed and not on anything else
