I have recently joined IBM 2 weeks back.I feel like I don't belong here. I had heard like work culture is quite good over here. I don't know if I am the only one or someone else feeling like that. What to do?

Today is my LWD at IBM. Felt the same when i joined in 2018.

Almost everyone left almost immediately or within a year of joining with me but i luckily had an eventful time here. 2 promotions in 2.5 years

Upto you to decide

Bro / Sis

When we say WLB is good in some company, that doesn't mean company will pay you for sitting idol.

Sometimes you have to strech yourself, It's a bitter truth of IT.

It depends on you also, how you complete your tasks..
I have seen many people in IT taking whole day just to write a simple SQL query and it's very strange that they have more than 5 years of Experience.

How can they complaint about the WLB?? I mean, your manager gave you whole day just to write a simple query, what else you want??

It's just an example, I don't know about your situation but you've to deal with it when you're in IT industry.

When I was interviewed in IBM,I was promised a development profile. Had a connect with the project manager also. She explained tge project. I was happy. When I actually joined, I was told that position is filled.. I will be put on bench. Got another project interview call. Interview went fine. PM told it is a support + enhancement project. There are new enhancements coming up. For which I will be laeding the enhancement part. After joining the project got to know the actual scenario. It was just a support proj. main work is to take screenshot. Here WLB is 10/10, and quality of work is 2/10. I feel cheated. Discussed my concern with PM, no result.. Decided to try again got in another org.
In IBM it is common..People do not care about your preference, hearing lot of such cases.

Yes thanks

Give it some time.

So, I’m interviewing for a position that fits perfectly, HR likes my profile, had great conversations with them. Today I had a Panel interview with HR and the hiring manager. The manager is not experienced, it’s her first r manager role and she’s been in it for 3 months. I was prepared but was out of breath the entire interview, had a knot in my throat, had trouble finding my words. It’s like I had PTSD when this manager came into the picture. Ever had that?
