Pros
- Opportunities to work at some of the best companies in the world. - Consulting teams and practices in different regions of the world can and do work well together responding to a potential client's RFP and performing a client engagement (better than comparable competitors) - Outstanding relationship with SAP. SAP often pushes the client to work with IBM as the systems integrator.
Cons
- IBM now stands for "I'm By Myself" & "Impersonal Business Management" and that is how it feels to work here. - Promotions in the more senior ranks are heavily skewed towards resources that implement SAP and that came from PWC or were recruited from the outside post-PWC acquisition. If your area of expertise and/or legacy is otherwise, you have a tough time getting past engagement manager. - This is not a management consulting practice. This is an SAP (first) and Oracle (second) ERP software implementation machine. - Base pay and bonuses are very poor (when compared with competitors).
