Pros

A powerful brand, strength in pockets, strong marketing. Able to keep Wall Street happy despite flat or negative growth over 20 quarters.

Cons

Poor delivery, lacks leadership vision, career wrecking managers, CYA culture. Big ambitions with no plans. GBS Australia puppeteered from Singapore. Poor leadership. no plans for new hires. You are expected to perform with no support. Most IBMers are sellers with conflicting KPIs unable to serve customer interests. GBS in Australia is a haunted place, most good people have left, no delivery capabilities or value proposition for customers or employees.

Pros

Salary, Reputation, Learning Opportunities

Cons

Too many to list. 1. Very Bad middle & senior management 2. Too siloed, cannibalistic, Self - Focused teams-No sense of a team. I was there for 1+ years and did not get to meet the full team 3. Pricing is way over necessary and totally opaque. More and more inexperienced infusion with the same or increasing price tag leading to customer escalations and compliants 4. Partners and above with the exception of few, lack even the basic leadership skill and they complement that with arrogance 5. No positive outlook. 6. Over-hype and over selling Watson with no concrete history behind
