Employee - Principal/VP/Director
They do not do a lot of promoting from within. Definitely value outside and industry experience. Most likely to hit s glass ceiling.
Employee - Principal/VP/Director
Agile, innovative, collaborative, and competitive
Employee - Senior Associate/Consultant
IBM does not have the depth of employee expertise as it once had. Because of this I believe they over commit to their clients and end up with missed expectations.
Employee - Senior Associate/Consultant
Follow processes with out full regard to client needs
Employee - Senior Associate/Consultant
IBM pursues an active encouragement of the salaried employees to overwork, put in extra hours in order to gain any bonus, In reality it works out that the employees really gets no "paid vacation" as he/she will have already worked 52 weeks in any given year with the extra hours expected.
Employee - Senior Associate/Consultant
Remote - working from home when not on a project was the norm which is not bad but it would help to have a nice flex office when its needed.
Employee - Senior Associate/Consultant
Internal education programs were decent and the work, although at time political, was interesting.
Employee - Principal/VP/Director
Their reputation is declining these days.
Employee - Principal/VP/Director
Open culture, respect for others however the culture have changed in recent past after Ginni Rometty.
Employee - Senior Associate/Consultant
Thought Leadership
Employee - Manager
Not as well known as it should be - people still believe IBM produces laptops, and we need to do more to highlight all the truly amazing things we have delivered.
Employee - Manager
On the ground, people work collaboratively, innovatively, creatively. However, senior leadership is so distracted by reporting numbers that it limits the ability to grow as fast as we need to. This creates a culture of blame when results aren't delivered. However, over the last 18 months in Europe there is a desire to see things improved, driven by some key senior leaders, and it is beginning to take effect.
Employee - Manager
Compensation improving hopefully with the change to the performance rating system, but waits to be seen.
Employee - Manager
As part of the wider IBM business, the push to report numbers (for shareholder value) overshadows the ability to allow creativity, empowerment etc. These behaviours cascade down, and limit the massive ability of the population to deliver innovative solutions for clients at all times.
Employee - Manager
Yes because of the innovation, creativity, breadth and depth of solutions available - just in IBM GBS, or with other lines of business. But only when we have changed the leadership model to something more collaborative and empowered, less command and control. This US driven firm needs to learn how to lead.
Employee - Principal/VP/Director
Excellent

Psychos, yes-men, hard workers, smart, dumb and some - The Borg
Employee - Senior Associate/Consultant
IBM is still considered a leading player in the game and as such is good to have on the resume. But I would not recommend it for someone who already ahs a Big 5 in their past.
Employee - Manager
Not the ideal place to start a consulting career. It is better to learn from one of the smaller firms in management consulting - McKinsey, Bain, BCG as to the more collegial atmosphere available in these firms. IBM Global Services is more of a corporate setting and does not provide the enablers you need to embark on your consulting career.
Employee - Manager
It was quite a toxic culture when I was with them and continues to deteriorate by the day. There is no sense of ownership for the business and the camaraderie that I found with Booz & Co. (now Strategy&) was sorely amiss at IBM Global Services.
