IBM CbD UK

16 months into the scheme, spent 7 benching. The culture here is something else. Some B8’s+ are soo insecure and will gaslight/sabotage grads. Has anyone else experienced this?

I have, as a former CbD.

It’s the weird culture of pretending you’re the best but literally no one outside your company believes that. As a result, promotions are slow, chances are slim, and you depend on people giving you opportunities because moving up on merit is challenging.

Then, everyone is afraid of someone else coming and stealing their thunder. So they don’t necessarily want to help. Or, they’ll help but you’ll definitely know that you owe them.

Sorry OP, I found it super frustrating and it really limited my ability to grow. I wasn’t on the bench at all but even still it felt super slow. I had to move.

Hence, considering the offer, does this offer look good or is there any scope of improvement? Amex American Express

Hi all,
I’m currently working for a small technical consulting start-up firm. I make good money, have great benefits, and they seem very happy with the work I’m doing, so I know I could move up quickly. However, tech consulting is definitely not my dream job. I want to get into data analytics, and I have an offer from a big company to do just that. I’ve only been at my current company for about 8 months, but I don’t ever see myself loving this job. How do I know when it’s time to make a change?

To those that look at resumes for hiring: if you see unknown companies listed, would you prefer that the candidate has an added description of what the firm does in addition to experiences?
