IBM UK LTD - Global Business Services
Pros: Flexible working culture fully supported. The business has no problems with you working from home. Diverse culture and great opportunities if you are willing to follow the process and check all the boxes. If you are willing to manage your own career proactively you can progress through the ranks.
Cons: Aggressive culture which doesn't always support individuals. Travel is expected using very 'tight' expense allowances - economy airfare regardless of the length of flight. Process driven for everything which means that you spend hours resolving simple tasks rather than client facing work. Not very good at supporting team events - all self funded and seldom happen. I met my team socially once in 2 years!
