Appraisals, promotions, Bonus... IBM india is completely manager centric company. So, your appraisals/promotions entirely depend upon your manager. Managers do take biased decisions because of which you will be forced to leave IBM & look for elsewhere.

The best thing in IBM was WFH opportunity though it was based on manager's approval. Also the learning hub, ideanthon, hackathon is really a good option in IBM. I was very happy to be a part of their cloud development team and mostly they will give you full access in their cloud development platform and you can do any PoC so it will help you to gain knowledge in IBM cloud and cloud development and also it will help to boost your career in Cloud Development.
