If you are hooked in such teams pay attention on how long people in the team worked for IBM, if you find they have been in IBM for 35-40 years you are in a hook, just run, run, run from such teams. The point is those 35-40 years in IBM people do already nothing but they have to create a shield to protect themselves, if they happened to create such a shield, they are protected for at least 4-5 years, but not you, and you will be kicked out.

Yes, I agree and they are desperate to hire your spouses and children just to protect their existence and keep that shield.
Horse hooey.
Bob likes to keep it in the family.
@hh I wonder if consulting feels like one big happy family today
Speaking as someone who has been at IBM 35-40 years, I would like to say that this post is BS. Yes people get layed off from IBM. One key item I've learned over the years, keep learning new technologies and keep looking for ways to implement them and improve the project you are on.
