IBM GBS is not the place for advisory/management consulting
Pros: - Used to have big transformation projects
- Used to have excellent culture and moral values
- Open on international 
- Excellent work-life balance (compared to other consultancies)
- Job stability
- Still looks great on a resume
Cons: - They don't have an advisory culture, they pretend to do business consulting but they don't
- Huge hierarchical line and over centralisation of decision in the US totally disconnected from the local and current context
- They can keep consultants years at the very same salary, with 0 bonus/incentive - so most of graduates hires leave after 2 to 4 years
- All best managers/partners have left and Global Business Services is severely drowning since 2011
