Get all the facts right in your offer letter
Pros: Benefits only exist for employees who have been in the system for a long time.
Cons: They don't keep any of the commitments they make at the time of interviews. I had been promised a work from home option and hence, resigned from my previous company and joined IBM. After joining, the People Manager (who is your God here, without whose help, you just can't survive) is asking me whether the work from home flexibility is specifically mentioned in my Offer Letter. If not, then, it's not a commitment that the company can keep! So, if you have any concerns, ensure they are specifically committed to in the Offer Letter before you decide to join IBM.
