Overall rating: 4/5
Employment status: former
Experience level: Junior

Global Business Services: Safe, but poor reward
Pros: Safety in Job; consistent long-term projects; Training both classroom, e-learning, and client-site training was excellent
Cons: Poor reward for performance. Partners were forced to dust off age-old PWC policies to reward performance and even that was well below par

Travel policies ruined by long time IBM sales teams taking advantage. Travel policies can't compete with flexibility required by clients of a consulting firm. Need to be separated.

HR policies get worse each year. Impressively bad decisions taken on behalf of 420,000 employees and in no way reflect how a consulting firm should be run. Loses a lot of ground against the private firms (i.e., Deloitte)
