Wake Up IGS Partners...the World has Changed!
Pros: - Opportunities to work at some of the best companies in the world.  
- Consulting teams and practices in different regions of the world can and do work well together responding to a potential client's RFP and performing a client engagement (better than comparable competitors)
- Outstanding relationship with SAP.  SAP often pushes the client to work with IBM as the systems integrator.
Cons: - IBM now stands for "I'm By Myself" & "Impersonal Business Management" and that is how it feels to work here.
- Promotions in the more senior ranks are heavily skewed towards resources that implement SAP and that came from PWC or were recruited from the outside post-PWC acquisition.  If your area of expertise and/or legacy is otherwise, you have a tough time getting past engagement manager.
- This is not a management consulting practice.  This is an SAP (first) and Oracle (second) ERP software implementation machine.
- Base pay and bonuses are very poor (when compared with competitors).
