Can you believe one needs approval within IBM GBS even to bid for Client Program/Projects . Many a times GBS has ignored or backed out of deals that are below their margin expectations because the same are perceived to be ‘rubbish’ deals . I was part of Program which GBS won and the program kicked off too, but a year later the extensions , other projects bids with the same client were completely ignored because of clients laidback attitude (in terms of approvals , facilitations ) was thinning their margins . The formally designated partners in the programs share a part of Profits too , hence their interest drops on seeing their current engagement suffering on that count although it still ended up making profits but lesser than accounted . So all in their mind is Profit Margin which if not seen to be met , quick withdrawal after meeting the immediate , agreed milestones is their planned action . Because of which many B8s and even B9s come on bench and later laid off on exceeding their very short Bench tolerance limit . So nowadays even B8 is not welcome in a project because of higher salary that makes deeper cuts into Partners Budget and Profits .
Much better are Indian MNCs like Infosys , TCS which just bid , win programs with relatively less significance on Profit Margins while mainly trying to ensure their Benched People get work .
Precisely why growing in ibm is best difficult!
