Pros

Please consider this review pertaining to IBM India Pvt. Ltd . IBM USA is still a fantastic place to work and grow one's career. IBM was not like this when I joined them couple of years back . The culture was friendly, the environment was pro learning and the people were excellent. The derogation started after a group of folks from TCS joined and captured all the decision making authority within the organization. They systematically ruined the organization framework such that all the good people left (or were made redundant) as is evident from the employee feedback posted here in the forum. What was left after this bitter onslaught was the devil I never got used to experiencing even to this day. The head of this pack what I heard got an all paid trip to the United States to enroll in the AMP of Harvard Business School. I do not know if he passed but I think he has given a perfect case study of the destruction of a well functioning excellent organization. I am an MBA myself and would like to present a case study at my alma mater someday of this horrific transformation and what not to do to make your organization a success. That is, I think, the only legacy he left at IBM India Pvt. Ltd. Apart from this , everything is good about IBM. You get to meet the most talented people existing in this industry (especially in the United States , the numbers sadly has been dwindling due to Resource Actions ) , the knowledge base of 100 years , the opportunity to be at forefront of technical excellence , the well established processes and methodology and the respect the name commands .

Cons

Politics , poor management , employees looked as numbers and IBM India Pvt. Ltd is a glorified bodyshop , no HR policies , incompetent deadwood gloried as managers , useless meaningless processes from the brains of dumb headed folks having no idea how to run a business . Many good people have left and there is a big fall in hiring standards . As a result the quality of people is falling day by day .
