Great company going to waste
Pros: Looks good on the resume
Some very talented people work at this company
Tremendous resources that can be brought to bear - financial, talenetd people, geographic reach, technology
Cons: Old boy network - very hard to break into
Consulting business model is broken - billable utilization target is 95%!!
In GBS people are commodities to be hired out on ANY project irrespecive of whether or not it fits your skills and interests
In GBS salaries are usually lower than the market
Most leaders are rewarded based solely on business generated - no incentive to look after their people or invest in innovation
