Pros

No Swipe in and Swipe outs Work life Balance (only for Managers not employees) (I am working in IBM past 3 and half years)

Cons

Join only as Managers and also join only for Brand, not for learning or career growth Very minimal hikes and that too only for top performers Too much power in hands of Managers 20,000 is operation staff (practitioners) and 40,000 is management They think they are providing work life balance but it is only for Managers not the employees You will be reporting many Managers at a time. There is a sector called IGA (IBM internal account) never join it if you are offered for.
