Employment status: former

The IBM brand is still strong, but there are definitely better consulting firms to work for.
Pros: There are a wide variety of projects available to Consultants within GBS and the brand name of IBM still goes a long way.  Additionally, opportunities for professional advancement/training are abundant.
Cons: Opportunities to be staffed on projects outside of your service area are rare, so if you wanted to move from say Supply Chain Management to Finance, don't count on it.
Additionally, movement between the Public and Private Sector practice areas is equally rare.
If you are staffed on the client site on a small project team, your exposure to Managers and other IBMers can be very limited.
