Company: IBM

Overall rating: 4/5
Employment status: former

A good stepping stone
Pros: Exposure to large projects and early exposure to new products and technologies.    The pay is industry average, and the entire experience can be heavily influenced on your immediate management; this is good and bad.  Having experience at IBM may be viewed as desireable by future employers.  There are lots of opportunities for professional and personal networking.
Cons: Little personal attention given to skills development.  Preoccupation with Billable utilization over other important commitments.  Getting answers to client questions could be difficult at times, with the client sometimes getting 2 different directions from 2 separate Service areas within GS.
