Pros

After regular layoffs and changes (even in a profit making scenario), company has developed a bad reputation among professionals in the sector. company is ready to pay, if you can negotiate

Cons

-5 years of Ingram experience is considered as similar to 2 years of other known companies in the market - The common believe in Ingram is to indirectly make your coworker responsible and get him fired (this practice let people stay for some more time, that's how people are surviving in the company for as long as 10 years) -The compensation is low which results in further complication in one's professional career -Heavy politics, it's not what you know or do , but more who is favoring you -Lackluster environment, office environment still stuck in 1980s, morale is at all time low due to layoff and incompetent managers -Low wages for the associates, executives and managers but overpay on Director and VP level. Tier bonus structure means worker bees get half of what managers will get. -no real education (except the few online trainings about code of conduct that take years on dead systems, CSR etc and maybe an MS Excel training for a day)

Pros

1. Fortune 100 MNC thats it

Cons

1. Every single employee treats themself as Manager (their is no position of ASM in Ingram India, but every tom-dick and harry Writes Manager or ASM in their profile 2. No link between performance and rewards. 3. Zero work-life balance. 4. Chances of getting chronic diseases are very high as working under inhumane conditions is common in Ingram India 5. 90% of the employees in Ingram are underpaid and it shows in their daily life frustration 6. Their is no requirement of accounts team, product team and pre-sales as all these ultimately depend on sales team to get their work done (these 3 profiles are among the highest paid people in org) 5. Ingram has a legal contract with all the well known companies in the sector and its nearly impossible to move on to brand names like IBM, Microsoft, HP, Cisco, Apple, Samsung, Lenovo, Dell etc once you are an employee of Ingram 6. single point of annual appraisal (only your manager can recommend you, and it largely depends on you providing monetary benefits to your manager throughout a year) 7. ethical compliance cell is made just to avoid legal complications in the country 8. Pathetic infrastructure, 2 to 3 persons sharing celeron/athlon/p4 desktops, no ERP access outside the office and still company wants to outbeat the competition 9. No standard business policy for partners (customers), lenient policy such as extra credit, billing in overdues to big customers and strict rules for small customers 10. No fix working hours, even working straight 12 hours, managers will always question your credibility and requirment in the organisation

Pros

most of the key people are non competent n if you are smart you can fool them easily

Cons

Training from ingram and support from coworkers is terrible. No initial training provided, then they penalize the employees for not knowing the system. No one knows what Ingram micro is until a few months into the job because every process is very different. They hire and lay off constantly!. The minute you get a job at Ingram, start looking for your next one. Compensation for the work they require is relatively low. This makes it a challenge for them to keep decent individuals in non management roles. Ingram Micro is trying to get maximum output with minimum expense and it makes it extremely difficult for overburdened people to do well with everything that is expected from them. Unfortunately they keep taking easy way out every time IT industry gets into a slump by either laying off, eliminating random positions, or restructuring the pay structure (which always seems to hit the pockets of their beloved employees). Most of the good talent is long gone and what talent is left or unexpectedly coming is wasted in documentation type work due to the process. Constant worry of job security destroyed the moral of organisation. Ingram Micro customer demands the office to be staffed on holidays and it results in people working on Eid, Diwali and Christmas that's too without any compensation management will treat you as if you are a robot by expecting the most hours and efficiency from you with no regard to your pay, family, work-life balance. the company doesn't care about employee health. Management would rather get you sick and die than spend a little more money on your care and well being. Look at other options before work here.
