I work for a small consutlancy company with maximum 15 people in total. The company is based in holland and has a branch at Indonesia. But I have been working at the client place is IBM
from the time I have been recruited and will be working in future as well. In MBA application form, I have to write about my employer details such as
-company name,
-website,
-turnover,
-number of employees.

Is it ok to mention IBM details for the above rather than the small consultancy because of IBMbrand name

Your employer is the company paying your salary. I'm sure adcoms are familiar with situations like yours whereby you're hired by Firm A but the nature of the work puts you on-site at Client X.

Then I should go with the consultancy. But will it affect my profile if I mention a company without the brand name.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
