Experience level: Junior

Unexpectedly disappointing experience
Pros: - Brand recognition
- Competitive compensation
- They have spacious office space
Cons: - I transferred to IBM because the company was known for it's processes but it turns out the processes are just done on paper and nobody fully understands why it is done. Therefore, most of the time it does not add any value.
- Irregular working hours
- The Manila Delivery Center was very bureaucratic. Even though it is an international company, management is like a microcosm of the Philippine government. Disappointing, really.
- For people thinking of transferring here, keep in mind it is mandatory to go to work on Regular Holidays. Regular Holiday pay mandated by the PH government does not apply, you only earn a Time in Lieu leave.
- However, taking leaves like Time in Lieu, Vacation Leaves are discouraged. Most of the these benefits are forfeited to achieve the company's financial goal at the expense of the employee's time.
