Pros

Within IBM, GBS is a good place to work, as you don't really interact much with IBM or management. You work for a client.

Cons

A lot of them on a high level:

  • Poor benefits, especially the 401k, the worst I have seen.
  • Politics in management.

I'm a victim of racism. I had been rated 2+ (overachiever) every year and successfully delivered projects on time, but still, they put me on RA. The reason for RA was cost-cutting, but my peer, who had not performed well and hadn't delivered projects, was not affected at all as she was white. I was asked to pass on my successful projects to her.

I took the package they offered as part of RA, as I have seen enough. And the best part? They haven't settled my RA amount yet. It's been over 2 months, and HR keeps saying the check is on the way... lol. I guess they ran out of money... lol.

Advice to Management

Fire the CEO and give a bonus to hard-working employees.
