Salary

[Edit]

The current starting salary for graduate trainees at IBM is just over £27,000 per year, plus an annual bonus of about 4% of salary. The expense package provided at the firm is generous, although only graduates who work away from the firm will receive this.

Career

[Edit]

IBM is one of the largest consultancy firms in the world. Consequently it can be hard to shine, and promotion can be hard to come by. It is also very difficult to transfer to a different section of the consulting business once you have joined, so much sure the area you apply to is the best option available to you.

At the presentation during the Selection Day, it was mentioned that you are actually encouraged to try working in as many other departments as possible as you would gain valuable transferable skills from different roles.

Business focus

[Edit]

Although graduate consulting roles at IBM are described as business consulting or strategy consulting, the real focus of the company is on IT and you may find the work you do relates more to IT than anything else. The actual business and strategy consulting departments at IBM are tiny compared to IT and it can be hard to gain recognition if performing a businessfocused role within a technical project.
