    IBM UK Service Delivery Manager in London, England (United Kingdom):   (Current Employee)

    Pros

    Very good for educational opportunities and the ability to move between job roles.
    Management are happy to support any career changes you wish.

    Cons

    Remuneration is below market average. I joined on the graduate scheme 3 years ago, since when my responsibilities have increased considerably. Salary, however, has not & there is no outlook for it to do so. Talking to colleagues, this is a common theme - people chose to work at IBM not for salary but for the additional benefits which they offer.

    Advice to Senior Management

    Review the benefits package paid to top performing employees. It is very common for graduates to join IBM for a few years, get a lot of education & career development then move onto different employers, who frequently offer up to double the salary available at IBM.
