At GBS Europe - 3 years of bureaucracy and heavy travel / training restrictions
Pros: They do manage to sell some nice projects which can give a good experience.   As anywhere I guess they do have some fine people still that have not given up yet.
Cons: Used to be a strong name to have on your CV but fading fast.  Courses were non existent, their performance rating process very unprofessional, travel ban etc.  But when there were graduates joining (3 every year in my office) they got to take 3-5 classroom courses and did not have to be billable at all the first year.  Extremely bureaucratic, a small device to be used in sales presentations had to go through 5 approvals, taking weeks before in the end was rejected.  I bought my own device to be able to demonstrate the solution to the client.  (contract of over 50M dollars won).  Just a very sad story of a once great company coming apart fast.  Watson going nowhere, cloud going nowhere.  Dead man walking.
