Pros

- Flexible remote policy - Kind people

Cons

- They sell this role as mgmt consulting.. it's not - Very volatile working environment (people get fired all the time) - Consistent talent loss to better companies - Hierarchical / no one listens to younger folk who genuinely want to improve the company - Disinvestment from many interesting innovation programs - They make it hard to be a self-starter - Lack of transparency around changes and issues with GBS. The culture of secrecy is getting out of hand. - Can only get a role if you network for it. Meritocracy, I hardly knew her..

Pros

Only pros is they have are too keen to allow people to work from home. All married females in IBM work from home from years and decades.

Cons

They recruit you and make you sit on bench to find the projects. If you cant find a project and on bench for long , they will fire you. IBM is the top in 2018 in firing employees for below performance because they don't have projects but they hire people and keep them on bench and then after 1 years they will force you to resign what happened with me. They are forcing me to resign , such a bad experience with IBM
