Associate Consultant - Global Business Services
Pros: 1. Located across a lot locations so in the long term you can move to your preferred place
2. IBM is huge so it has a variety of projects coming to it ranging from blockchain to IOT to vanilla process consulting
3. Less work pressure/ freedom to work from home
Cons: 1. Very few opportunities (consulting assignments) for new recruits (even those with significant pre MBA work ex)
2. It has become a norm for new hires to sit on bench for 7-8 months straight , a huge waste of potential and time. No concept of shadowing an engaged consultant.
3. Completely unstructured induction for new joiners. You join and then you are on your own.
