Pros
  • Nice location
  • Friday parties
Cons

Don't waste your time; this is not a real IBM, but a resource company of IBM GBS.

  • Experienced people will lose their experience due to bureaucracy and project limitations. My manager told me that I cannot help my colleagues because this is not a client delivery.
  • Without experience, there is no one to teach you (also see the previous point).
  • No pension.
  • Flexible working space is not implemented but declared. Be prepared for the fact that the monitor from your working place will be stolen.
  • Tons of lies – everything they promised me during the hiring interview about the project was a lie.
  • It is not possible to change a project. If you are assigned to a "shitty" project, there is only one way to change it: say goodbye.
  • The manager is not working on the same project as you. This means that he cannot solve any of your problems.
Advice to Management

Please always check the information that IBM GBS tells you.
