People Manager - People Manager International Application Solutions Employee Review

If having some association with IBM is deem as a "pro", then that is the only one.

- You're essentially a contractor for IBM, the company operate under the "rules" of IBM as it is a wholly own subsidiary of IBM Singapore. However, contractors do not get to have most of the benefit that an IBM employees enjoys. - You are treated nothing more than a "number" in the company, helping it to generate income by "selling" your services to IBM. - Benefit is hardly stellar, with only 12 days of annual leave, it is pathetic. Medical claims are minimal, although you do not have to pay anything for company appointed clinics. - No other employee benefits as contractors are really, just contractors. - Not much chances to progress career wise as it really depends on the project that you are involved in.

International Application Solutions is a Wholly owned subsidiary of IBM, It is better here than working through an External Vendor, The benefits are better & it gives a first hand experience of what it will be like to work with IBM, Folks who work well have a change to be converted as IBM Regulars.

The Benefits which employees get have to get better, The Management needs to think about Training & Development activities for the Employees.
