Pros

IBM treats its employees well in most cases. Working here, you have access to tons of great resources and to really intelligent people.

Cons

I felt a little like a worker bee that was expendable.

Working as a billable consultant was a little stressful, considering you were supposed to always be billing. Do other work on your own time.

Many meetings and even more paperwork. Not to mention silly certifications on ethics that were a complete waste of time.

Advice to Management

Focus on the employee and treat them as a person, not a drone.
