GBS Sr. Managing Consultant
Pros: Big 4 consulting org
6% match on 401k
generous vacation and holiday time off
Warm leads from SWG and other sales teams
Most funded R&D org in the industry; most patents in world each year
Respected Engineering firm
Cons: Salary is lower than industry average
No pay raises
No bonus in GBS
Not a marketing firm (lacks marketing expertise to bring new innovative products to market - speech failed, mobile failed, collaboration tools don't hold a match to google docs, will see how watson does)
Loads of processes that are costly but ineffective - DS&P, PMR, Delivery Excellence, etc. 
Ran by spreadsheets, lots of resource actions all around company to meet 2015 financial goals; lots of offshoring key roles for same reasons; 
high pressure for over 100% consultant utilization
