Focused on the short term.

The bonuses are a joke. They are routinely in the 1-2% range (based upon salary).

Employee - Principal/VP/Director

Diverse work force with a technology focus.

Employee - Principal/VP/Director

Technology focused consulting firm.

Employee - Senior Associate/Consultant

IBM is good firm for technology / technical consulting. But the IBM, in some cases e.g. strategy and transformation, positions itself as strategy consulting which is a bit misleading. Also the firm was going through a transition period for the last 2 years. I believe they are trying to focus on their core strength which is technology. Again good firm for tech, lousy for strategy/ operation.

Employee - Senior Associate/Consultant

Since IBM was in a transition period over the last two years, it is my opinion that there was some lack of direction, focus and communication. There also seemed to be a lot of attrition and downsizing.

Employee - Senior Associate/Consultant

It is my opinion that IBM compensation is lower than comparable firms. IBM has a wide and overlapping pay grades. So a consultant and senior consultant could make the same compensation.

Employee - Senior Associate/Consultant

The reputation is sort of a mix and seems to be declining. Most employers don't think of IBM as a consulting firm. They assume and brand IBM as a core tech company. Well its true in many ways. But one should not forget that IBM -GBS is actually PWC's consulting arm which IBM bought in early 2000's.

Employee - Principal/VP/Director

There is no work life balance and its dog eat dog.
