Employee - Principal/VP/Director
Too focused on promoting inexperience to drive diversity numbers up while sacrificing other team members that have earned the right.
Employee - Principal/VP/Director
Good reputation but diminishing.
Employee - Senior Associate/Consultant
Company has lost its reputation in the last 10 years due to restructuring and outsourcing which has devastated its quality resourcing pool.
Employee - Senior Associate/Consultant
A team that is trying to keep its eroding market share and ability to deliver best in class solutions and services.
Employee - Senior Associate/Consultant
Make sure you are comfortable with the base pay. Salary increases are rare and changing bands is even more scarce.
Employee - Senior Associate/Consultant
Culture of always being assigned to revenue generating endeavours. Utilization targets were part of your annual evaluation.
Employee - Senior Associate/Consultant
I believe that IBM's Services market reputation continues to be on the decline. NA public opinion sees IBM as a company that no longer services its clients or its employees with the excellence it used to command.
Employee - Principal/VP/Director
The firm has missed it's revenue numbers for the past 19 quarters. No one in executive management has been held accountable for the continuing miss, however, they continue to fire tens of thousands of employees doing the work. Not a single executive has lost their job......they simply keep moving them around.
Employee - Principal/VP/Director
IBM continues to say they want to promote from within, however, they continue to hire people from the outside into senior positions, and do not promote the people who have been there loyally for years. Their actions do not coincide with their statements.
Employee - Principal/VP/Director
IBM used to set the gold standard for customer service. They continue to cut customer facing account managers, client architects, and industry experts, which is severely impacting the quality of service they are now able to provide. Our customers are complaining about this.
Employee - Principal/VP/Director
More and more focused on short term financial resulyts ans shareholders rather than employees and customers
Employee - Principal/VP/Director
Changing and non transparent criteria of bonus allocation
Employee - Principal/VP/Director
Diverse culture
Employee - Principal/VP/Director
Old lady from which we don't know if it will resist to more agile new comers
Employee - Manager
As soon as you drop just a little below the target utilization rate, even though that may have been due to incompetency of their placement manager, you may be at risk. I lost some great team members.
Employee - Manager
Market reputation isn't too good, since IBM GBS is known to first and foremost recommend IBM software and hardware, even though they may not be the most suitable solution.
Employee - Principal/VP/Director
Managers at IBM are forced to provide false lower ratings to their employees in order to legally safeguard the company when they do a mass layoff.
Employee - Principal/VP/Director
Overall they have diversity but it is skewed. Top level Partners who are non-billable are mostly white Americans whereas at mid management & lower levels (client facing billable roles), you will find diversity and mostly employees who have origins in countries other than USA. If you are a white American, it is hard to grow beyond associate partner level in USA no matter how good you are in your skills, leadership and client satisfaction
Employee - Principal/VP/Director
Has been very good historically. However in the last 10 years they have made a blunder by laying off excellent senior level employees unprofessionally (by forcing their managers to deliberately reduce their ratings) and have generated unhappy ex-employees who are now working for their competitors and customers and hurting IBM's business. A good example is IBM going down consistently in SAP Consulting Gartner magic quadrant very quickly after being the #1 for so many years. They just killed an excellent SAP Practice by promoting wrong leaders who have no knowledge of SAP and asking excellent SAP skilled leadership employees to leave.
Employee - Principal/VP/Director
They follow an extremely unprofessional practice of forcing their managers to reduce employees ratings in order to do headcount reduction and meet profitability numbers. Most employees never earn the promised bonus but CEO and top executives salaries have been going up at a fast rate.
