My DOJ was on 24/06/2026. I just wanted to understand if I'll be eligible for the bonus and hike on a pro-rata basis in this cycle.
Can somebody please guide me with this ?

⚠️ Beware of Joining IBM

I resigned around 10 days ago. Today, my manager placed me on a PIP despite having no client escalations and maintaining over 102% utilization on the project. I received a Core rating during the appraisal cycle but was not given any salary hike.

Being put on a PIP after resigning raises serious questions about how employees are treated. Based on my experience, the work culture at IBM seems to be deteriorating day by day.

Guys, beware before joining IBM. Take the time
