IBM GBS Brazil - not for developers
Pros: - Good infrastructure in IBM Hortolândia - SP
- Employee transport provided by bus
- Lot of free training/self-study materials in intranet
- Pays salary on time
- Good place to learn english
Cons: - If you love SW development just be aware there is no technical IT related career plan in IBM Global Business Services, you just drift from one random project to another doing help-desk stuff, maintenance development etc..all in different technologies (most surely in some obscure legacy tech) and domains.
- Hour reporting  (Claim) is  a painfully complex, stuff needs to be recorded in 15 min accuracy and absolutely every activity  has specific work item
- Career plan is a joke. For example we were ordered to get certified as IT Specialist which is a IBM only internal certification. Achieving this cert  requires a lot of your time and effort, and you are expected to this on your own time.
- Bonus plan follows the same logic, you are set to absurd/impossible goals - then at the end of the year you receive bad rep because you failed to achieve your goals
