Not a focus country or business unit
Pros: Within GBS

Team members are of good quality
Work life balance
Opportunity to work internationally
Learning on the job challenges
Some of the projects are really nice, you just have to fight for them
Cons: No training other than silly online training of low quality
Too many management changes with no real effect
Partners / AP not performing
Absence of people management skills from Partners and AP
No transparency with performance appraisals
Few promotions
No pay increase
Over the last years many key consultants left GBS and nothing was done about it. The quality overall is decreasing.
Older consultants end up staying because they have very good benefits package and no pressure to perform.
