jobbite
Told me I had to live in Virginia for division 16 consulting, but most of my work has been travel based. Have been shipped to division 5 (commercial consulting) several times. Like the multiple project experience but can feel diluted within the large corporation. Decent pay but the pay structure for new college grads has changed and it was very disappointing to learn others (new hires) were making more than me after 2 years of experience. Promotions, are similar to any company. It's all about how well you can write, and not necessary how well you performed.
-Good for First Job as a College Grad
-Job security (College Hires are very cheap) don't worry about being on the bench overrated as a College Hire
-Travel Opportunity (If you like to travel) gets tiring after the 2nd year.
-Good job for 2-3 years to start career, then get hired by another Consulting firm :)
-Vacation is not really vacation. Performance is based on billable hours to the client. Use vacation on your own discretion if you want that to factor into your utilization. If your utilization 120% then feel free to take a month or 2 off from work =) Just for your information, just because they say you get 3 weeks of vacation does not mean you are alloted 3 weeks of vacation
-Bonuses-Lots of free money here, Performance Based, Project Based, Helping IBM Based (I've gotten a lot of free money here)
-Traveling Abroad-Still have yet to travel abroad, but I could very well be getting an opportunity soon.
Too large and bureaucratic for its own good. Very easy to become a number. Work/life balance is good.
Compensation is 56k. Benefits are good.
Pros: Looks good on resume. Future employers will be impressed. It's a global company so there are many different types of opportunities through out the world.
Cons: Jobs being shipped overseas. This leads to low morale and an overworked current staff. Pay is lower than it should be.
Wide range of benefits with a total pay around $84,000.
