Experience level: Senior

Strategy Consultant
Pros: The investment in Design Studios and iX (Interactive Experience) has made IBM a more diverse place to work and provides fresh thinking when addressing clients' strategic issues.  Big opportunities for personal growth with new mobile, cognitive and IoT technologies, although this requires high investment of personal time and brings few monetary rewards.
For those consultants willing to invest time in building a network and personal development there are many exciting projects with capable colleagues at a range of blue-chip clients
Cons: The continuous focus on utilisation as the sole consulting metric is depersonalising and demoralising.  Bonuses are so small that they are pointless and insulting.
