IBM France GBS (business consulting): OK if you can play office politics and know how to leverage big size companies
Pros: Sheer size of company (number of opportunities), big, prestigious clients, lateral moves, available support, IBM network, work/life balance often better than average
Cons: Below-market and stuck salaries, overgrown middle-management and administrative processes, next-quarter financial results trumping any other consideration, lack of long-term strategy (or not shared). No real consulting culture.
