IBM

You probably already know that we’re a successful, global company. You may have heard about some of our work. But what is it that makes a career as a consultant at IBM truly different? Here’s some of the things that people who actually work here have told us:

World-class clients

We make a point of partnering with creative, high-profile organisations – in fact, globally, we work with more than two thirds of the world’s 50 most innovative companies. In the UK, our clients include the BBC, Shell, Marks & Spencer, BSkyB, O2, DVLA, Lloyds TSB and Barclays – to name just a few.

A rich variety of projects

This isn’t just about the big projects. This is about projects that excite, inspire and push things forward. Projects that matter – not just to us, or our clients, but to the wider world. We worked with the BBC to revolutionise their finance function – allowing 50% of their finance budget to be put back into creating great programmes. We’ve worked with the British Library to safeguard millions of webpages for posterity. And we’re also collaborating with energy providers to make a mass market of low-emission, electric cars a possibility.

Award-winning training and development

In 2009, Fortune magazine ranked IBM as the best company for leaders – probably because we’ve worked hard to create an environment where you can constantly develop. You'll start your IBM career with an induction course that will help you understand more about IBM and how we operate. We’ll put together a personalised career development plan that’ll map out a path to where you want to go. Then, you’ll be able to take advantage of the vast range of training available – from e-learning courses, to classroom tutoring.
