The bigger you are, the harder you fall
Pros: The people, flexible working, the brand. Great if you're just starting your consulting career or for a limited period as an experienced hire, but limited benefit to sticking around.
Cons: Zero culture, no sense of team, limited opportunity to network / socialise with wider team. Constantly renaming teams / reorganising. Hard to navigate the huge pool of information. Outdated, monolithic, performance review process, especially for those in the middle bands (8 and 9). V top heavy, organisational structure. Definitely all about who you know, not what you know. Benefits plan is a joke. Prime example Pru Vitality not even delivering the most basic of perks automatically included in the lowest tier of cover. IBM have negotiated these out to make it cheaper for the company.
