IBM has no more value on your CV these days that PC World. The Big Blue dinosaur is on its last legs and is living off old patents and bought up service contracts.
Many of the people working for IBM are actually staff taken on when buying third party contracts, RSA Insurance for one. Many of these transferred staff are hopeless at their jobs.
There are two main suppliers or human resources, Manpower and CP. CP are in competition with Manpower and therefore they push the point to IBM that they supply temps and CP claims it has many temps on their books. Hence why the CP contract is so rigid.
IBM can't get their head around that the “temps” are really contractors. I did a spell with IBM and they (and I am putting this mildly) were flouting UK laws left right and centre. IBM are a law unto themselves.
