Likes: If you get a good project, the clients are great. You get to interact with them on a daily basis and they are not too pushy. Dislikes: The management
1. They give very minimal hike and during your appraisal cycle they change your PeM. The new PeM don't even know what my rating is and doesn't even discuss about it. In my 3 yrs with IBM I had discussion after I put my papers only as it coincides with Appraisal Cycle. And in 3 years I got 1 hike only. Rest of the time... Read More

EY vs KPMG vs IBM which should I join?
My current CTC in Accenture is 9 LPA(7.68 fixed + Variable) for 5.10 years of experience as a SAP ABAP developer. Now I got offer from 3 top Consulting firms.
1. Company - EY GDS
First offer - 12.20 LPA Fixed
Revised offer - 16.80 LPA fixed
Location - Noida
2. Company - KPMG
Offer - 15 LPA ( 12.75 fixed + Variable)
Location - Gurgaon
3. Company - IBM
Offer - 18 LPA ( 16.20 fixed + Variable)
Location - Gurgaon
In which company I should go? And what should be the expected CTC for 5.10 years of experience ABAP Consultant. I have not asked IBM and KPMG for counter offer yet what ctc should I ask ??

Likes: 1. No monitoring on people instead allowing them to complete their work peacefully (but, few cases depending on project)
2. Location flexibility - if project location is flexible, you can work from any IBNM's location.
3. Skill development - There is so many opportunities to develop our skills through certification, free learning pla... Read More
Dislikes: 1. One and only thing is there is no project assignment system or workforce management system to assign projects based on your skills.
Exception: if we have good skills and if we know how to look next assignment, there could be possibility to avoid above concern. Otherwise IBM always good choice.

Likes: Job security - there are so many projects. If you are on bench then don't worry if you have skills.
Dislikes: There is nothing like annual/yearly appraisal.
You can be on same package for 4 years no matter how hard you work. They will only point out for "out of the box like independently developed some AI toll or equivalent to it" thing and at this point you will loose the battle.
If you are okay to get yearly 1-2% hike on overall package th... Read More
Likes: They are too flexible in terms of work, productivity matters here. No strict work from office which is great by the way.
Dislikes: The promotion cycle looks terrible and of course, it is a service-based company, so can't expect a huge salary hikes.
