Pros

Big clients, projects and smart people. Great name on the resume and for someone starting out in their career.

Cons

Huge company so you have to make your own path and if you are not one of the highly valued consultants (mainly Associate Partners or Senior Managing Consultants) you can get lost in the shuffle and not compensated for the value you bring the organization.

Pros

Quality People with a passion for client's and company's mutual success Global leader with a lot of opportunity for those skilled in networking and those that can navigate a highly matrixed organization. Comprehensive approach to compensation and benefits. Evolution to value based culture resonates with customers, competitors and marketplace in which the company competes.

Cons

Navigating multiple large organizations in highly matrixed environment can wear and grind one down. Business controls, process and operational intensive environment

Pros

Great work-life balance and a flexible work environment enable employees to decide when, how, and where they want to work.

Cons

Very large company makes it difficult to advance. If you are in the wrong divisions of groups within IBM, then promotions, raises or any other compensation would be unlikely.
