Pros

No pros as such. IBM GBS is not a great place to work for.

Cons

They hire a lot of employees to show their bench strength to get projects. But they might not get projects. Long bench period. Meanwhile in the bench period, people manager might ask you to resign, promising financial benefits. But ,at the end, you will end up getting 90 days base pay. The role of workforce manager is not needed. You have to find open positions on your own. Contributions to lighthouse is not considered as productive. Better not to contribute to lighthouse and pay attention to get projects. Less pay and poor policies compared to banks and big 4 firms. Mediclaim premium has to be paid by the employee.
