Pros

I have tenure, some good benefits and clients that I have established relationships with.

Cons

The company provides zero support, recognition, bonus, you have to win and deliver for your clients all by yourself, may as well work for yourself. Thankless culture - toxic senior leadership in consulting. I have to work really hard to shield clients from the shocking management style that is now the norm. Company moves goal posts substantially each year with zero consultation - do more, no help will be provided, get on with it.

Impressive leadership with many women in key leadership roles, lots of training opportunities, frequent communication, remote working opportunities and industry leaders with AI and quantum computing.

Trapped in the past

Pros

Some great colleagues though many leaving in droves. A good pension match, though that is now changing too.

Cons

Internal processes are a nightmare, working with other companies also very hard as IBM are paranoid about everything. Way too much process and no listening to genuine improvement ideas. Just more inadequate process on top of the old process. Unable to resource anything as always the wrong skills on the bench so have to no bid many opportunities. Many micromanaging leaders who having come from project management have no clue about sales and think relationships are built on more micro management instead of a can do attitude and commitment. Some extraordinary backward practices, open tick box diversity agenda also that promotes ineptitude rather than merit.
